JSC 'can't predict' how long Hlophe gross misconduct process

John Hlophe was found guilty of gross misconduct, after a tribunal determined he had tried to influence two ConCourt justices.
The JSC says it does not feel any pressure to decide whether Hlophe should be impeached or suspended.
FUL says this isn't good enough and has written to the JSC, to demand commitments on whether these decisions will be made.
Freedom Under Law (FUL) has demanded answers from the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) about when it will make a decision on Judge President John Hlophe's possible suspension and impeachment for gross misconduct.
"The continued failure to deal with this matter properly and expeditiously erodes public confidence in the JSC and the judiciary as a whole; more so given the participation of Judge President Hlophe in the judicial selection process," FUL's lawyers wrote to the JSC on Wednesday afternoon.
