Selby Mbenenge tribunal: Witnesses to continue giving testimony! Witnesses will continue giving testimony at the Judicial Conduct Tribunal probing sexual harassment allegations against Eastern Cape Judge President Selby Mbenenge.

Evidence leader, Advocate Salome Scheepers, has introduced staff from the division to give evidence on their knowledge of the relationship between Mbenenge and High Court secretary Andiswa Mengo.

Judge’s secretary and friend to Mengo, Abongile Tshete, said he enjoyed a different relationship with the judge president but also described him as a father figure, a submission similar to that made by Mengo.
