The fact that the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) had made a decision on the Hlophe matter meant the long process of restoring faith in the judiciary could begin, the Cape Bar Council said on Tuesday. The findings of the JSC's disciplinary committee would not undo the damage which had been caused by the saga, council chairman Jeremy Muller said in a statement.
However, the decision had at least brought to a conclusion a process which, because of its drawn-out nature, could "only have aggravated the problem. It is in this context that the Cape Bar welcomes the fact that the JSC has at last arrived at a decision," he said. "The long process of restoring the public's faith in the judiciary and repairing the inevitable divisions and tensions which these unfortunate events have engendered can at least now commence."
