JUDICIARY IN CRISIS ANALYSIS Judge Hlophe’s hand-picked representative from WC bench to vote on tribunal impeachment verdict impeachment-verdict/ By Marianne Thamm MarianneThamm
that Judge Monde Ishmael Samela “represented the Western Cape Division of the High Court at the JSC meeting on 4 June. The JSC had no role in the determination of who attends on behalf of the division”.
Hlophe’s suspension was set to be decided on Friday, 4 June, by a “small” JSC of 14 but the final verdict has been postponed to 30 July due to a “deadlock”.The failure by the JSC to explain the delay has been slammed by Lawson Naidoo of the Council for the Advancement of the SA Constitution as “an affront to the foundational constitutional principles of accountability, responsiveness and openness.
The matter has dragged on for 13 years and has resulted in very public and acrimonious exchanges between the country’s most senior judges, plunging the country’s judiciary into crisis.
