The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) wants President Cyril Ramaphosa to suspend Western Cape High Court Judge John Hlophe:
In a ruling made almost a year ago the JSC found Hlophe guilty of gross misconduct for attempting to influence two Constitutional Court justices to rule in favour of former ANC president Jacob Zuma in 2008,The embattled Judge Hlophe challenged the legality of the JSC investigation and the vote which found him guilty, but
that was dismissed by the Gauteng High Court. The same court recently granted Hlophe leave to appeal its ruling. It indicated that his application lacked merit, but that it was of public importance that Hlophe be granted leave to appeal, as he could become the first judge in South African history to be removed from office.
