Cape Town — Fallout From Chief Justice Interviews Prompts Calls for Probe Into Dali Mpofu's Behaviour

The Legal Practices Council is among the organisations and individuals in the legal fraternity calling for Dali Mpofu SC to be removed from the Judicial Services Council. Mpofu is accused of misconduct in the interview process for judges shortlisted for the position as chief justice of South Africa. Mpofu has been accused of using the interviews for political gain.

The General Council of the Bar (GCB) has been flooded with requests for Mpofu's replacement, after his questioning and treatment of Gauteng Judge President Dunstan Mlambo, Acting Chief Justice Raymond Zondo and the president of the Supreme Court of Appeal, Justice Mandisa Maya.

However, Mpofu insisted that there was nothing personal when he asked Mlambo questions about sexual harassment even though they were only based on rumours.
