EWN reports that emotional scenes played out in Rosebank on Tuesday afternoon during the testimony of a woman who has accused Eastern Cape Judge President Selby Mbenenge of sexual harassment.
Andiswa Mengo battled to compose herself after explicit WhatsApp messages between herself and the senior judge were read out before the tribunal. The tribunal, which will sit for two weeks, is tasked with investigating the allegations against the senior judge. Mengo, who was a junior employee in the division at the time, said his sexual advances were unwelcomed, despite Mbenenge’s claims that they were consensual. An emotional Mengo needed a brief moment to compose herself after she broke down before the tribunal. At the time, Mengo was being probed on WhatsApp messages sent by Mbenenge asking her about sexual positions. Evidence leader, advocate Salome Scheepers, read out the messages before the tribunal. The sitting will continue on Wednesday, with Mengo expected to furnish the tribunal with further details and provide clarity on some of her submissions.
