Show Notes
In a high-stakes legal battle, retired Justice Sisi Khampepes role in leading a commission on stalled apartheid-era prosecutions is under scrutiny. Former presidents Jacob Zuma and Thabo Mbeki challenge her recusal, citing past rulings as conflicts of interest. Khampepes legal team defends her, emphasizing protections under the Superior Courts Act. Zumas lawyers allege misconduct, while Mbekis side argues her duties are administrative, not judicial. Ramaphosa admits to lack of briefing on her history. The judgments outcome could set precedents for retired judges in political probes.
