14 years on and still no finality on the conduct of Western Cape Judge President John Hlophe. The Judicial Conduct Tribunal concluded its lengthy inquiry into his conduct -finding Hlophe guilty of attempting to influence the judicial process. After over a decade of back-and-forth testimony and challenges, they found Hlophe guilty of trying to influence Constitutional Court Justices Bess Nkabinde and Chris Jafta to rule in favour of former ANC president Jacob Zuma who was facing trial for corruption in the arms deal matter.The Judicial Service Commission upheld recommendations for him to face impeachment proceedings before Parliament – however, Hlophe has challenged the finding.
