The impeached former Western Cape Judge president is accused of trying to influence Constitutional Court justices, in a matter pertaining to former president Jacob Zuma.

Judges Matter researcher Mbekezeli Benjamin and African Legal Practitioners Association chairperson S'the Mbhele discuss this further.

    Hlophe is not sitting in JSC as a judge, he is sitting there as an Mp from MK party,. You took away his title, now can you let him fuction as a politician

    Ramaphosa's ethical standing is in question as well "Section 89 Independent panel" but he's the President and no questions are asked.... this selective intellectualism.

    Is phalaphala ethical and suitable to be the president of SA . Benjamin is paving his way to the highest office under dollarman. Unfortunately, dollarman's power is coming to an end.He is quoting the constitution that is biased

    The system doesn't want Dr John Hlophe. But they're ok with Ramadollar and Groenevald
  • AAAAH.......Benjamin is this what you were going to illustrate at Public Protectors Office if at all you were successful to occupy the office ...remember you were one of the most dismal failures during the interview ...so please give Judge Hlophe space we want the nation to benefit from such intellectuals blessed with such wisdom....unless he is a threat to you please disengage
