The Judicial Conduct Tribunal probing sexual harassment allegations against Eastern Cape Judge President Selby Mbenenge is continuing with the cross-examination of Judges’ Secretary, Andiswa Mengo.

Counsel for Mbenenge, Advocate Muzi Sikhakhane, has focused on what they describe as Mengo’s “omissions”, in her complaint against the top judge.

Mengo is accusing Mbenenge of sexual harassment during the period of June 2021 and November 2022.

Sikhakhane went through her various responses that are not recorded in her statement.

Sikhakhane SC: Am I correct mam, that this discussion here is still sexual?
Mengo: That is correct
Sikhakhane SC: Then you do not reflect anywhere in this complaint that you answer this way to this salacious discussion. You say, you give two laughing emojis and then you say, “foreplay kindles”.
Mengo: Yes.
