Felix Dlangamandla, Netwerk24 John Hlophe has vowed to clear his name after a tribunal found him guilty of gross misconduct. The tribunal found that Hlophe had improperly attempted to influence Justices Chris Jafta and Bess Nkabinde. Hlophe said the tribunal's decision was based on "irrelevant" considerations. Judge President John Hlophe "fundamentally disagrees" with the Judicial Conduct Tribunal's findings, which found him guilty of gross misconduct for trying to sway two Constitutional Court justices to rule in favour of then ANC president Jacob Zuma. The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) on Saturday released a statement, which confirmed that the tribunal had found that "Hlophe's conduct breached the provision of section 165 of the Constitution, in that he improperly attempted to influence" Justices Chris Jafta and Bess Nkabinde "to violate their oaths of office", News24 previously reported.
