Judge President Mbenenge battles misconduct ruling as impeachment threat grows

Eastern Cape Judge President Selby Mbenenge is fighting back against a Judicial Service Commission finding of gross misconduct that could pave the way for his impeachment. The ruling stems from sexual harassment allegations brought by judges’ secretary Andiswa Mengo, who claims Mbenenge sent inappropriate messages, made suggestive comments and requested explicit images. Mbenenge maintains the interactions were consensual and denies sending explicit photographs. Legal expert Mpumelelo Zikalala unpacks the significance of the case and what could happen next. Kayafm
