Judge John Hlophe was found guilty of attempting to unlawfully influence two justices of the Constitutional Court. Prominent trade union leader Zwelinzima Vavi took to X to express his extreme dissatisfaction. In a constitutional democracy, where the judiciary’s integrity is of the utmost importance, such activities are extremely grave, as Vavi’s article highlighted.

“Let us be clear: Judge John Hlophe was found guilty of attempting to influence two Constitutional Court judges so that they would not judge a case based on their oath of office or the rule of law,” according to Vavi. “Doing that in a constitutional democracy is simply wrong, worse when you are a judge.”

Judicial independence is fundamental to democracies, and Vavi’s remarks demonstrate serious worry about the consequences of Hlophe’s wrongdoing. He emphasized that such behavior is illegal and morally repugnant, especially coming from someone whose job it is to enforce the law, and he cautioned against trying to mainstream or justify it.

Travelers look up to him as a hero. “Not everyone!” Vavi went on to say that although some people may support Hlophe, there are those who are very opposed to what he is doing.

Along with that, Vavi said that no South African court would approve of Hlophe being on a panel that would be interviewing other judges. “We are not a banana republic – not yet,” he stressed, stressing the need to uphold the country’s judicial system.

“Now go ahead and insult.” Vavi ended his tweet, perhaps preparing for the reaction he would receive for expressing his thoughts. Regardless of the backlash he could get for taking a stand on this matter, his remark shows that he is determined to speak up.

Vavi reaffirmed the need of holding the court to account and preserving South Africa’s justice ideals in his speech.
