Former Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng has clarified that he did not say he would not apologise under any circumstances, rather, he said that he would not unless forced by law.
The Judicial Conduct Committee was tasked with probing several complaints against Mogoeng and whether he contravened the code of judicial conduct. He was found guilty and then appealed. But the Judicial Conduct Appeals Committee has upheld the original instruction to apologise.
