Dr John Hlophe, the parliamentary leader of the uMkhonto weSizwe Party MK Party, will remain a member of the Judicial Service Commission JSC until he is officially recalled, Judges Matter said.
Mbekezeli Benjamin, Research and Advocacy Officer at Judges Matter addressed the ongoing controversy regarding Hlophes membership in the JSC in an interview on Newzroom Afrika.
'Hlophe remains a member of the JSC unless he is recalled, he said.
Benjamin said the situation began in July when Parliament designated Hlophe as a JSC member.
Following this decision, several organisations, including the Democratic Alliance DA and various civic organisations like Freedom Under Law and Corruption Watch, challenged the designation in the Western Cape High Court, he said.
