'Apologetic' E Cape Judge withdraws disparaging remarks on Mthatha's legal practitioners
October 31, 2025
|Cape Times
EASTERN Cape High Court Judge Mandela Makaula has apologised for what he conceded were disparaging remarks about legal practitioners in Mthatha.
He made the comments while being interviewed by the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) last month.
Based in Gqeberha, he referred to problems in Mthatha and described the legal fraternity there as “untrustworthy”. His words, “you can’t trust anyone in Mthatha unless you know them”, have sparked outrage from several law bodies.
In a statement issued by the Office of the Chief Justice, at the request of Judge Makaula, he apologised, saying: “Following my recent Judicial Service Commission interview, during which I made unfortunate and disparaging remarks about legal practitioners in Mthatha, several law bodies publicly condemned my statements.”
