DURBAN - EMBATTLED Western Cape Judge President John Hlophe has accused the judiciary of being soaked in politics, battling to deal with transformation, and allowing apartheid-era judges to dominate the narrative.
In a scathing criticism of the judiciary, Judge Hlophe described the countryâs law as a âwhite manâs lawâ 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.
Judge Hlophe made the damning assessment of South Africaâs judicial system in a lecture he delivered on invitation by the University of South Africaâs Department of Public, Constitutional and International Law on Monday.
