JSC decision on Hlophe/Goliath tribunal delayed again: The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) “did not finish the discussion” on whether to establish a tribunal to investigate potentially impeachable conduct by Western Cape judge president John Hlophe on…
The commission was expected to finally reach a decision on whether to confirm a recommendation made in September last year by the appeals committee of the Judicial Conduct Committee that the two top judges of the Western Cape division be investigated for their conduct in relation to complaints they made against each other in January 2020.
Goliath also alleged Hlophe involved Salie-Hlophe in the court’s administration — making the other judges uneasy. When she tried to address her concerns with him, he reacted aggressively, calling her a “piece of shit” and “rubbish”, Goliath said. Hlophe said Parker would deny the assault. He denied swearing at Goliath and said their relationship of trust had broken down because she had meddled in his domestic affairs.
