Judge Tuchten raised questions about Judge Makhubele’s role in a Prasa dispute. Now she claims she was singled out as a black woman.
Judge Tintswalo Nana Makhubele has lodged a complaint with the Judicial Conduct Committee against Judge Neil Tuchten for “defamatory statements and unwarranted criticisms” against her.in the case between Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa and Siyaya Rail Solutions, Tuchten wrote that Makhubele “ought not to undertake any judicial duties until she clears her name of the allegations against her.”
Makhubele became chair of the Prasa interim board after being appointed a high court judge. This conflict of interest was uncovered by commuter activist group #UniteBehind.
Makhubele implied that Tuchten’s judgment against her was affected by racial bias. She wrote in her complaint, “Why did Judge Tuchten single me out? Is it because I am a woman? A black woman? The others are white males.She also wrote that Tuchten had violated judicial independence by considering the views of #UniteBehind to reach his judgment. Tuchten had also denied her right to fair trial by failing to call on her to answer, according to Makhubele.
