Court grants DA interdict to stop John Hlophe from serving on JSC
The Western Cape High Court has granted the Democratic Alliance (DA) an urgent interdict to stop uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) parliamentary leader John Hlophe from serving on the Judicial Service Commission (JSC).
The court made the ruling in a virtual sitting. This after the DA launched the urgent interdict application about three weeks ago. DA spokesperson Karabo Khakhau says the party welcomes the decision.
“The court decision affirms our position and strengthens the fight to maintain the highest standards within our judiciary. It cannot be that an impeached judge found guilty of gross misconduct should now hold a position on the JSC – a body entrusted with the responsibility of selecting judges and upholding the highest standards of the judicial integrity. So as the Democratic Alliance, we welcome the judgment today.
