Western Cape Judge President John Hlophe today abandoned a part of the urgent application he sought to stay his possible suspension by President Cyril Ramaphosa.

The matter was before Gauteng High Court Judge Roland Sutherland earlier today.

The Judicial Service Commission recently voted for Hlophe to face impeachment after a tribunal found him guilty of gross misconduct.

Sutherland also slammed Hlophe for saying he did not want any judges from the Gauteng High Court division to hear his case.
