National Assembly looking to fill vacancy on Judicial Service Commission following Dr John Hlophe 's withdrawal
The NA explained that it would need to fill the vacancy following Dr John Hlophe’s resignation on Monday.
Mothapo said at least three of whom, must be members of opposition parties represented in the Assembly. He said following the vacancy created by Dr Hlophe’s resignation from the JSC, the National Assembly will proceed in terms of its Rules, to initiate the process to designate Dr Hlophe’s replacement in the JSC.
“However, given the timing of Dr Hlophe’s resignation; the fact that the October 2024 interviews are already under way; and the process that must be followed, it is not possible to designate a replacement for this round of JSC interviews,” he said.It said the MK Party will not allow Hlophe’s name to be associated with or used to legitimise a patently misleading, fraudulent, and improperly constituted Judicial Service Commission.
