Judicial Conduct Tribunal into judge named in Zondo Commission Report begins today

As of today, the Judicial Conduct Tribunal (JCT) set aside three days to hear a watershed case against Judge Nana Makhubele.
Makhubele, named in the Zondo Commission, faces charges of gross judicial misconduct in a complaint filed by the civil society organisation #UniteBehind. If found guilty, the judge could be impeached.

Mbekezeli Benjamin from "Judges Matter's" said Makhubele faces two allegations; the first stems from the fact that she was a judge and the chairperson of a state-owned company, PRASA, which is a violation of the separation of powers principle and judicial ethics. The second allegation against Makhubele is her alleged intervention to advance the interests of a company accused of state capture and corruption while she was still the board chairperson at PRASA.
