Johannesburg – The office of outgoing Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng on Thursday explained his decision to take long leave five months before his term at the helm of the country’s judiciary ends.
Mogoeng’s office announced on Friday he was taking long leave from May 1 after informing President Cyril Ramaphosa and Justice and Correctional Services Minister Ronald Lamola.
According to Nathi Mncube, the spokesperson for the judiciary, regulations promulgated in terms of the Judges’ Remuneration and Conditions of Employment Act 2001 provide for judges to take leave of three and a half months for every period of four years’ actual service.

Mogoeng s spokesperson Nathi Mncube said in a statement that judges are allowed leave of three and half months for every period of four years of service.
This leave is referred to as long leave within the judiciary. The chief justice’s four-year cycle to take his long leave commenced on 1st July 2018 but he was unable to take it due to his judicial and extrajudicial commitments, he said.
The long leave comes as Mogoeng s term as chief justice is coming to an end.
Mogoeng has some five months left as head of the judiciary.
The FW de Klerk Foundation is shocked - but not surprised - by recent comments about South Africa’s judiciary made by Western Cape High Court Judge President, John Hlophe. According to news reports Hlophe accused the judiciary “of being soaked in politics, battling to deal with transformation, and allowing apartheid-era judges to dominate the narrative”. In a lecture to the University of South Africa’s Department of Public, Constitutional and International Law (UNISA), which he delivered last week - after he had been found guilty of gross misconduct by the Judicial Conduct Tribunal - Hlophe described South Africa’s law “as a white man’s law imposed by colonialists and an infusion of English heritage and the Roman-Dutch law, which rendered it incapable of delivering justice for the common man”.
