Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Impeached former Western Cape judge president turned politician John Hlophe has resigned from the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), MK Party spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela confirmed to TimesLIVE.<\/p>\n

The MK Party went to court on Friday to prevent the JSC interviews after the Western Cape High Court interdicted its parliamentary leader from participating in them.<\/p>\n

The DA, Freedom Under Law and Corruption Watch brought the case to court.<\/p>\n

TimesLIVE previously reported the JSC is scheduled to interview 54 candidates for 26 vacancies over eight days. Each interview has been given a 50-minute time slot, but the JSC has in the past often exceeded the allocated times, with interviews running late into the night.<\/p>\n

In court papers, the JSC said filling these vacancies was critical, TimesLIVE reported.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court of Appeal lost a number of experienced judges to retirement, said JSC secretary Mbali Mondlane. The vacancy in the judge president post at the labour court was also placing \u201cgreater pressure on the other judges\u201d.<\/p>\n

Hlophe was appointed as the MK Party deputy president as well as its parliamentary leader.<\/p>\n

This is a developing story<\/p>\n
