The Judicial Conduct Tribunal probing sexual harassment allegations against Eastern Cape Judge President Selby Mbenenge resumes on Thursday, with the evidence of former Judicial Service Commission JSC official, Kutlwano Moretlwe.
Moretlwe is the individual who assisted Judges Secretary Andiswa Mengo with her initial complaint against the top judge on the 17th of December 2022.
The circumstances surrounding the initial complaint are crucial for a few reasons.
This evidence is crucial as the tribunal previously heard that retired Chief Justice Raymond Zondo was allegedly not satisfied with Mengos initial December 2022 complaint and requested that she lodge a new one.
This runs contrary to Mengos evidence that she was told her initial complaint was misplaced and she had to write a new complaint in the form of an affidavit.
