Umkhonto weSizwe Party MKP deputy president, Dr John Hlophe , was on Friday, interdicted by the Western Cape High Court from taking part in any Judicial Services Commission JSC activities.
Judge Johannes Daffue handed down judgment in an application by the Democratic Alliance, Corruption Watch and Freedom Under Law FUL after they each applied to have Hlophe recused from the JSC separately.
They deemed their applications as urgent as the next sitting of the JSC is scheduled for October 7 to 11.
The impeached Judge President, who was removed from his position for gross judicial misconduct, was elected to the Judicial Service Commission JSC on July 9.
He was nominated during a sitting of the House in Cape Town.
