Motata, 72, is estimated to have earned slightly less than R2.5 million since his retirement in 2017, bringing his total earnings since he ruined the phrase “sober as a judge” in January, 2007 – when he drunkenly reversed his Jaguar through Richard Baird’s wall near Sandton – to more than R16 million.
The tribunal found on April 12, 2018 that Motata’s conduct and his remarks at the scene of his 2001 car accident were racist, impugning on the impartiality and dignity of the courts. Since then, nothing. “[But] it will lead to a loss of all his retirement benefits as he would no longer be a judge entitled to retirement benefits,” De Vos wrote.The tribunal said Motata should be removed from office as keeping him would negatively affect public confidence in the justice system. It recommended to the JSC section 177 1 of the constitution be invoked, i.e. “the Judicial Service Commission finds that the judge suffers from an incapacity”.
This judge still goes drinking almost every night at the Sandton Sports Club and frequents the Morningside Bowling Club too. Of course he hasn't learned his lesson because he is still being paid. No consequences. milkbar_sa HermanMashaba
