Parliament said that he was trying to conflate a process in which the National Assembly could override the Judicial Service Commission (JSC)'s recommendation that he be removed from the bench.
CAPE TOWN - Parliament said that Western Cape High Court Judge President John Hlophe's last ditch attempt to stop an impeachment vote against him was tantamount to ignoring the separation of powers.
But Hlophe hopes the Western Cape High Court will put a stop to the vote, pending a Constitutional Court review of Parliament’s procedures. The commission found Hlophe guilty of gross misconduct in 2021, for allegedly trying to influence two Constitutional Court judges in 2008, in a case involving former President Jacob Zuma.
