Jafta and Nkabinde Refuse To Testify

In 2008, Judge Hlophe approached justices Jafta and Nkabinde and discussed with them the Zuma/Thint matter in which judgment was pending. The Concourt signed a complaint against Judge Hlophe, and justices Jafta and Nkabinde were happy to be signatories to that complaint. Five years later, the tribunal is trying to determine whether an innocent collegial conversation took place – and so dismiss the desire by some to see Judge Hlophe sanctioned for judicial misconduct – or whether Judge Hlophe had improperly tried to influence the outcome of a Concourt case – and so recommend sanction. Bess Nkabinde and Chris Jafta have made a U-turn and are calling the judicial tribunal into allegations of misconduct against Judge John Hlophe an "illegitimate structure".
