Freedom Under Law (FUL) says perhaps the decision taken by President Cyril Ramaphosa to suspend public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane will galvanise the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) into action against Western Cape Judge President John Hlophe.
Freedom Under Law says perhaps the decision taken by President Cyril Ramaphosa to suspend public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane will galvanise the Judicial Service Commission into action against Western Cape judge president John Hlophe.
It said the courts have repeatedly made damning findings, in respect not only to her competence but also her motives and integrity. FUL said these findings signalled Mkhwebane’s misconduct, incapacity or incompetence that the constitution says can trigger action against her. There were echoes of another"disgraceful failure to safeguard public institutions", in this case the JSC’s"abject dereliction of its duty" to protect the integrity of the judiciary.
