Johannesburg – Civic organisation Freedom Under Law says it’s concerned about EFF President Julius Malema and Advocate Dali Mpofu taking part in the search for a new Chief Justice.
The organisation said Malema and Mpofu, who are members of the Judicial Services Commission, are not suitable to partake in such an important task.
It cited a judgment by the Joint Committee on Ethics and Members’ Interests which found Malema to have breached Parliament’s Code of Ethical Conduct during interviews for Judges by asking a question deemed inappropriate, as well as investigations into Mpofu’s conduct when he told a colleague and her client to shut up during the Zondo Commission.
Freedom Under Law says the two should step aside because of this.
