Mazwai slams Judge Mbenenge

South African activist and poet Ntsiki Mazwai has reacted to a viral clip of Eastern Cape Judge President, Selby Mbenenge. The judge is at the centre of a controversial misconduct investigation, after his secretary, Andiswa Mengo, made sexual harassment allegations.

Reacting to an X clip by @Tlats_OVO, Mazwai said Mbenenge was displaying high levels of arrogance. At the Judicial Conduct Tribunal, Mbenenge admitted to asking Mengo for a juicy picture even after she said she was sick and not feeling well.

Mengo told the court that the interactions between her and Mbenenge started in June 2021 and November 2022. She also alleged that the Judge sent her explicit photos of his private parts, against her will.

@Khwezi_bass said:

"This Mbenenge case really shows the importance of outgrowing childish ways and gaining self-control and discipline. Guilty or not, imagine being this old and discussing such WhatsApp texts in court."

@EzethuJubase pointed out:

"I see people are taking the Judge Mbenenge tribunal as a joke. That is a man who presided over real-life cases, with that mentality. It’s actually scary."

@AmuFloyd laughed:

"Mbenenge has such a great memory or he's making up stories. He seems to remember even the smallest details about what he did on a specific date and time years ago."
