The Judicial Service Commission JSC on Friday confirmed the January findings by the judicial conduct tribunal that Gauteng high court judge Nana Makhubele was guilty of gross misconduct.
The commission has resolved to refer the matter to the speaker of the National Assembly to recommend removal proceedings for the judge in terms of the constitution.
The commission, without the MPs, met in July to consider the contents of the report of the tribunal, which had inquired into allegations of judicial misconduct against Makhubele after a complaint by UniteBehind, a coalition of movements comprising various nonprofit organisations.
The complaint was made as Part A and Part B.
Part A concerned Makhubeles acceptance of appointment and provision of services as a chairperson of the interim board of the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa Prasa after she was appointed a judge with effect from January 1 2018.
