# The Judicial Service Commission has found Eastern Cape Judge President Selby Mbenenge guilty of gross misconduct. This overturns a decision by the Judicial Conduct Tribunal, which found him guilty of misconduct, but not gross misconduct, over allegations of sexual harassment. The JSC says Mbenenge’s actions, including pursuing a relationship with a junior court employee, Andiswa Mengo, were grossly inappropriate and incompatible with judicial office. It says it will now ask president Cyril Ramaphosa to suspend Mbenenge pending Parliament’s consideration of whether to institute impeachment proceedings against him.
