The Committee last month ruled that the former Chief Justice breached the Judicial Code of Conduct by involving himself in matters that caused political controversy.
It s Mogoeng’s religion and the politics of that religion that are now strangling him into a rebel against the state, whatever damage this may cause to the judiciary or how well it s judgments could be received, writes Yonela Diko.
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.
