IOL News reports that sexual harassment complainant Andiswa Mengo was labelled to have “selective amnesia” by former Judge President Selby Mbenenge as he continued his testimony at the Judicial Conduct Tribunal on Tuesday.
Mbenenge is accused of having engaged in untoward and sexually-driven Whatsapp conversations with Mengo over a period of time, which he conceded were “flirtatious” and “deeply sensual” but which he claimed were consensual conversations. Before proceedings concluded on Tuesday, Mbenenge confirmed that he had opened a criminal case of crimen injuria against Mengo, which he said showed his commitment to dispute what he was alleged to have done. On Tuesday, Mbenenge at length picked apart conversations that occurred between himself and Mengo, which he alluded to it being selectively testified on by the complainant. “A complaint which is laced up in lies, should not have seen the doors of the Judicial Services Commission (JSC). A complaint founded on lies should not be entertained,” he said. Further to this, Mbenenge continued to vehemently deny that he had sent Mengo pictures of his male private parts and having then deleted them.
