“The reason for the decision of the JSC is that Judge President Mbenenge is on special leave pending the outcome of the tribunal and in this period is required to finalise all partly-heard matters,” the commission said last Wednesday. Hlophe was suspended at a late stage, not when the complaint against him was referred to a tribunal, because the matter dates back to before the adoption of the amendment which introduced tribunals. Ramaphosa eventually suspended him late last year, pending a decision by the National Assembly to impeach him — which is set down for Wednesday.
“It sends a message to women who press charges of sexual harassment against powerful men that they will not be heard or taken seriously. It becomes a question of hypocrisy.” Notyesi’s fellow JSC spokesperson advocate Sesi Baloyi was not available for comment as she is serving as an acting judge this month.
