Western Cape Judge President John Hlophe has gone to court to urgently stop President Cyril Ramaphosa from suspending him – and to block the National Assembly from going ahead with the impeachment process against him.

Hlophe maintains that the Judicial Service Commission Tribunal process that found him guilty of gross misconduct for attempting to sway 2 Constitutional Court justices to rule in favour of then ANC President Jacob Zuma in 2008 was “unconstitutional and invalid”. He wants those Tribunal findings overturned – but, in the interim, wants Parliament to be stopped from acting on them.
