Western Cape High Court Judge President John Hlophe is on Tuesday applying before his own court for an urgent interdict to stop Parliament from voting on his impeachment on Wednesday.

CAPE TOWN - Western Cape High Court Judge President John Hlophe said that for Parliament to remove him from office without probing his alleged misconduct would have far-reaching consequences for the judiciary in the future.

The suspended Hlophe's legal representative, Advocate Thabani Masuku, said that Parliament could not just play a supine role in the removal of judges. He reminded the court that the JSC's decision on Hlophe was not unanimous and that there were four dissenting opinions on the matter.
