JOHANNESBURG - The High Court in Johannesburg has dismissed Western Cape Judge President John Hlophe's multiple challenges to gross misconduct findings against him.
The court has rejected Hlophe's argument that rather than voting on whether he should be impeached, the National Assembly should conduct its own investigation. Hlophe has consistently maintained that his discussions with Jafta and Nkabinde were innocent academic discussions. But the court has reprimanded him, saying that he should not be talking to judges when he is not involved in the case.
