The Judicial Conduct Tribunal investigating allegations of sexual harassment against Eastern Cape Judge President Selby Mbenenge will resume hearing testimony from Kutlwano Moretlwe, a former official in the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) in Sandton, Johannesburg, on Thursday.
Moretlwe is the third witness to testify before the tribunal and has begun giving her account of the events of what transpired when High Court secretary Andiswa Mengo laid a complaint against the senior judge three years ago.
Mengo has accused the top jurist of making unwanted sexual advances towards her between 2021 and 2022.

Moretlwe’s testimony corroborated some of the evidence presented by Mengo in January.
Mengo told the Judicial Conduct Tribunal that she laid a complaint against Mbenenge in 2022. However, that complaint went missing.
This correlated with the submission made by Moretlwe before the tribunal.
“I could not recall that the complaint was misplaced. That’s why I kept referring them to go and check in my office because; I thought that there was a complaint there.”
Moretlwe said it’s only when she heard Mengo’s submission of the lost complaint that she recalled the disappearance of the document.
