NICOLE FRITZ: Mogoeng’s move in Hlophe matter may finally unearth some roots 🔒
The symbol of the Constitutional Court of SA, our highest house of justice, is of a tree and of people sheltering beneath its branches. It has many evocations: of settling and dispensing justice under a tree as was done in traditional African societies; of its canopy being sufficiently wide and fulsome to offer protection to all.
The recent decision of chief justice Mogoeng Mogoeng, in his capacity as chair of the Judicial Conduct Committee , to put to the JCC that it recommend the establishment of a tribunal to investigate three very serious allegations against Western Cape judge president John Hlophe would seem to be an indication of that integrated system at work.
