Freedom Under Law to legally challenge Hlophe’s election to the JSC

# Freedom Under Law says it will legally challenge Parliament’s decision to elect MK Party’s John Hlophe as one of its representatives on the Judicial Service Commission. The impeached Western Cape judge president is one of six National Assembly members who will serve on the JSC. Freedom Under Law says to have an individual who was found to have committed gross misconduct and removed from judicial office, now in a position to decide on the suitability of candidates for judicial appointment, is inappropriate and irrational.
