South Africa’s Judicial Conduct Committee has ordered the Chief Justice to apologize and retract his comments that showed support for Israel.
Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng made the remarks in June last year during a webinar – which was hosted by The Jerusalem Post newspaper, according to local media.
Africa 4 Palestine, a pro-Palestine organization, was among three groups that filed a complaint with South Africa’s Judicial Conduct Committee, saying the comments contravened the code of judicial conduct.
The committee ruled on Thursday that Justice Mogoeng must apologize within 10 days and even gave the wording to be used.
