'Judge not, lest thee be judged thyself...' ITB chairperson Jerome Ngwenya has been censured by Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng over the unlawful use of the title of ‘judge’.
Last week Mogoeng ordered Ngwenya, a former judge, to stop referring to himself by the title judge or Justice Ngwenya, because he had no right to do so.
“For years now, you have held yourself out or allowed people to regard, address and treat you as a judge or justice, as … is borne out from various documents including the Ingonyama Trust Board’s annual reports. But, as you know, you are not,” Chiloane said. “This is so because you resigned from judgeship and your subsequent attempt to become a judge was unsuccessful,” Chiloane said.
“Unlike serving and retired judges, when you have allegedly done or said something believed to be unethical, the Judicial Services Commission cannot take steps against you, precisely because you are not a judge. It is necessary that only those who are subject to the authority of the JSC are addressed and treated as judges,” Chiloane said.
