WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT

Eastern Cape Judge President Selby Mbenenge has denied the allegation that he sent a picture of his private parts to complainant, Andiswa Mengo.

The tribunal previously heard from Mengo that she received an image of private parts allegedly from the top judge.

Mengo is accusing the Judge President of alleged sexual harassment via in-person interactions and electronic communication, of which includes alleged crude images.

Mbenenge, who is on the stand giving his version of events, says the tribunal will sit until the cows come out as they will not see this alleged picture of the private parts.

“The situation is such that I have got to be explicit because there is this allegation she makes in the complaint. She took a screengrab. She explains when testifying what she saw. We will sit here until cows come out. We are not going to see this alleged picture of private parts with one standing on top of a cubicle and with white pubic hair such as his. I am at pains to have to talk about these things. The situation is such that I have got to be explicit because I have to defend myself.”

He elaborates below: 

Mbenenge says that he never sensed any discomfort from Mengo during their conversations.

Furthermore, Mbenenge says the mutual exchange between him and the complainant led him to believe she was inviting him to persist.
