Cape Town – Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng has a few days left before he should make an apology over his pro-Israel comment following the finding of the Judicial Conduct Committee.
One party came to his defence on Saturday, but other parties have called for him to step up to the plate.
The committee had given Mogoeng 10 days to apologise.
ACDP president Reverend Kenneth Meshoe has leapt to the defence of Mogoeng in the wake of the Judicial Conduct Committee ordering him to apologise for his remarks on Israel, saying Mogoeng should appeal the decision.
On Thursday the JCC said Mogoeng contravened five articles of the Judicial Code of Conduct with his remarks made last year that he was under an obligation as a Christian to love Israel and pray for Jerusalem’s peace, adding that his judicial misconduct was committed with wilfulness or gross negligence.
The JCC ordered that Mogoeng apologise for his remarks within 10 days and has to read an apology drafted by the JCC.
