Western Cape Judge President John Hlophe and Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s nominations for appointment as chief justice have ruffled feathers across the board, with one pundit saying “hell will freeze over” before either of the controversial characters are given the post.
Current Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng’s term at the helm of the country’s judiciary is set to expire later this month; and last month President Cyril Ramaphosa put out a call for public nominations for his successor. The Judicial Services Commission recently found Hlophe guilty of gross misconduct over an attempt to “influence, improperly,” Justices Chris Jafta and Bess Nkabinde during a make-or-break appeal involving former president Jacob Zuma’s prosecution over the arms deal. He is now facing potential impeachment by Parliament.
“It reflects very poorly on the probity of the BLA that they have the sheer afrontery to nominate him when he was in so much disciplinary trouble,” he said.
