A Judicial Service Commission JSC tribunal has found Eastern Cape judge president Selby Mbenenge not guilty of gross misconduct or sexual harassment.
However he did commit misconduct by engaging in a flirtatious WhatsApp relationship with a junior court official during working hours and at the workplace.
The ruling follows a formal inquiry into a complaint by Andiswa Mengo, a clerk in his department who alleged Mbenenge subjected her to unwelcome sexual advances and abused his position of authority.
