Judge President Mbenenge Challenges JSC Misconduct Finding in Court Review

Eastern Cape Judge President Selby Mbenenge has filed a supplementary affidavit alleging that the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) reached its gross-misconduct finding before constructing the reasons to defend it. The claim forms part of a pending High Court review and has yet to be tested.

The Allegation Against the JSC

According to the supplementary affidavit, the JSC arrived at its gross-misconduct finding first and then built its reasons afterward. This assertion is central to Mbenenge’s challenge.

Pending High Court Review

The claims are part of a pending High Court review. They have not yet been tested in court.
