Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng’s responses to a complaint, laid against him by Africa For Palestine for alleged pro-Zionist remarks during a webinar, has been described by the organisation as “unbecoming of someone occupying the office of the chief justice”.
Mogoeng’s accusations against the organisation included a “lamentable ignorance about true judgeship”, “acute anger-management incapacity”, “unrestrained irrationality and vitriol” and “singling him out as ‘their target … because I quoted parts of the Bible that [Africa For Palestine] don’t like’ ”. In making these statements Mogoeng, according to Africa For Palestine, breached the Code of Judicial Conduct by involving himself in a political controversy and “potentially even political activity” and had committed this breach in a “wilful or at least grossly negligent” manner.
While appearing to suggest that he was the victim of a smear campaign Mogoeng further alleged that the complaint “smacks of deep intolerance of genuine Word-based Christianity”.
