This is according to legal expert Advocate Francois Botes, who added that the rest of the cases allocated to Judge Phahlane will now have to be allocated to other judges by the Office of Gauteng’s Acting Judge President.

Judge Phahlane, meanwhile, may not enter the High Court premises until further notified.

This was one of the specific terms of her bail conditions. In responding to the arrest of the judge, Chief Justice Mandisa Maya said the process of her suspension is under consideration.
