I’m sure Constitutional Court Justice Elizabeth Nkabinde and Supreme Court of Appeal Judge Ephraim Magkoka were as very amazed as I was to hear the small JSC claiming ‘there is no prima facie evidence to substantiate’ my documented complaints about Dunstan Mlambo JP’s lies to the Justice Minister and the National Assembly’s Justice Portfolio Committee told in his ‘confidential’ reports to successfully pervert their enquiries into recruitment corruption at Legal Aid SA in which he was centrally involved as chairman, and about the further lies he told the Labour Court in a perjured affidavit he got his attorney to file for him, brazenly repeated to the Chief Justice and then again in an affidavit of his own – contrary to those two senior judges’ finding in February, based on their comprehensive 42-page review of the evidence, that I’d made a triable case for Mlambo JP to answer before a Judicial Conduct Tribunal.

Even in the New South Africa where anything goes these days, it’s hard to believe that all members of the small JSC dishonestly agreed to sweep my criminal case against Mlambo JP under the carpet in this way, so I’ve filed a searching PAIA request testing the integrity of the decision.

This thing isn't over. As the Americans say, FAFO.

At the Judges Conference in December last year, two months before Judges Nkabinde and Makgoka found my documented criminal and other capital complaints against Mlambo JP well-founded and answerable, Zondo CJ had already come out defending him and implying my charges were junk without having examined them.

The moral of the story is, if you’ve got a squarely documented complaint to make about a criminally corrupt judge, best wait for Zondo CJ to retire and for Mandisa Maya DJP to take over in August before filing it, because as this case brightly shows, these good old boys look after each other.
