Ten more judges of the Western Cape High Court have refused to sit with Judge Mushtak Parker because of his “apparent and serious lack of integrity”.
, Hlophe denied that there was any assault and said that he had showed this part of his affidavit to Parker, who agreed with his version.
But in Hlophe’s affidavit to the JSC, Hlophe denied that he had assaulted Parker and gave “a description of the events in his chambers which is materially at odds with the one Parker J gave under oath,” said the 10 judges. “On any reckoning, these various accounts were given long after the expiry of what could be described as a date ‘very soon’ after the alleged assault,” they said.
“If any of us were to sit with him, the court so constituted would inevitably be tainted, and we would individually be put in a false position,” they said.
