The judges had laid the complaint following Judge Hlophe’s visits to Justices Chris Jafta and Bes Nkabinde in April and March 2008.
He had met the two to discuss a matter involving former president Jacob Zuma and the National Prosecuting Authority. The apex court had reserved judgment on the case. ....
