THE GUILTY VERDICT AGAINST EASTERN CAPE JUDGE PRESIDENT, SELBY MBENENGE

The ANC Women’s League welcomes and hails the decision by the Judicial Services Commission (JSC), which found Judge Selby Mbenenge guilty of gross misconduct, effectively rendering the esteemed juror susceptible to impeachment.
The guilty verdict against the Eastern Cape Judge President of the High Court came after the rogue justice was brought before the JSC, on allegations of pursuing unwanted sexual advances towards a junior staffer between 2021 and 2022.
An earlier recommendation from the Judicial Conduct Tribunal cleared Judge Mbenenge of sexual harassment, while acknowledging some degree of misconduct, however the reputable JSC concurred with the ANC Women’s League maiden sentiment, that the Eastern Cape Judge President committed an act of gross misconduct.
The ANC Women’s League has always been on the side of the victim, and we feel vindicated by this judgement, particularly the fact that the victim can finally get closure from an ordeal of an unprecedented public court of opinion, and high level of arrogance from the very person who is supposed to protect and uphold the rule of law.
Thus, we eagerly await the process towards his impeachment to unfold, as this country’s bench cannot be adjudicated by a depraved judge who thinks they are above the law without the probity to uphold the constitutional values and the moral superiority of our judiciary.
The ANC Women’s League stands firmly with all survivors of sexual harassment and violence, advocating for their voices to be heard and respected, and in this instance, we call on our legislators to move with speed in bringing this matter to a close.
