Suspended Judge Makhubele faces possible impeachment
The Mercury
|August 04, 2025
SUSPENDED Gauteng Judge Tintswalo Nana Makhubele faces possible impeachment after the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) found her guilty of gross misconduct.
This comes after she accepted an appointment as chairperson of the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) board while serving as a judge.
In a statement on Friday, the JSC said it had considered the report of the tribunal established to probe the allegations.
Makhubele found herself in hot water after a civil society organisation #Unite-Behind filed a complaint.
The complaint alleged that Judge Makhubele undermined the independence of the judiciary and received remuneration from Prasa, a role within the executive branch of the government. Such a role, it said, undermined the separation of powers and/or the status of the judiciary.
