Johannesburg -The Judicial Conduct Committee has ordered Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng to publicly apologise for his pro-Israel comments.

The Chief Justice cited Biblical references to justify his comments.
A pro-Palestine organisation, Africa 4 Palestine, laid a complaint about Mogoeng’s comments.

Mogoeng has also been ordered to retract his utterances.
The committee has even told the Chief Justice what to say in his apology and retraction.
Mogoeng has to apologise within ten days.
