Judges Matter Welcomes Push for Mediation in Civil Trials - Judges Matter's Mbekezeli Benjamin by Radio Islam
Judicial organisation, Judges Matter says a new draft directive by Gauteng Judge President, Dunstan Mlambo, will assist in the country's efforts to ensure timeous resolutions to civil trial matters. This comes a week after Mlambo urged parties in civil matters to first undergo mediation processes before the matters are set down for trial. The judge proposed a number of drastic measures as the judicial system battles to find judges to preside over the mountain of case backlog in the country. With Gauteng being the largest and busiest high court division in the country, Judges Matter says the initiative will benefit South Africans in pursuit of justice.

There has been outrage in some circles over the National Assembly's decision to designate as members of the Judicial Service Commission and Magistrates Commission, MPs “who have previously been found guilty of misconduct or have been criticised by courts for ethical breaches, such as Dr John Hlophe and Ms Faith Muthambi”. In this interview with BizNews, Mbekezeli Benjamin of Judges Matter says: “So for us, it is ironic and it is really inappropriate for the people who are scrutinising lawyers to be judges and magistrates are themselves unethical or have been found to have been unethical. Parliament as a body was supposed to be careful and thoughtful in who it puts forward, especially when there are findings by the Judicial Service Commission that said that Dr. Hlophe was guilty of gross misconduct, which is the worst form of misconduct that a person holding judicial office can be found guilty of. They completely ignored those findings and they said he's suitable to sit on the JSC. So that is the argument that has been made and that case is being filed by the Freedom Under Law NGO.”

The Constitutional Court YESTERDAY dismissed former president Jacob Zuma's recusal application. The court did not give reasons for its dismissal, but they are expected to provide these in their written ruling on this case. Zuma had argued that six judges of the Constitutional Court that sent him to prison in the first place should not be involved in the current matter of his eligibility to participate in elections saying they can't act as both players and referees. After the dismissal the court then heard an application by the Electoral Commission of South Africa - IEC - to appeal against an Electoral Court ruling that paved the way for Zuma to run for public office. The IEC wants the apex court to appeal against the Electoral Court's ruling overturning the commission's decision to bar Zuma from running for public office due to his 15-month prison sentence in 2021.The IEC disqualified Zuma from running on the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party's ticket as a result of the sentence he received for contempt of court. The Concourt has reserved judgement in the matter.Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Mbekezeli Benjamin, Research and Advocacy Officer at Judges Matter
