Pierre, perhaps you don’t know that Judge Nathan Erasmus chairs the Western Cape Province’s Provincial Awards and Honours Committee and has done so since at least 2001. Presumably he had frequent meetings with Premier Rasool in connection with this aspect of the Western Cape Province’s functions during his tenure as Chairman of the Erasmus Commission?

mouse = lindelani??

Almost I think!

Anonymous = the person who can write a coherent sentence that sometimes proof reads and ghost writes for Lindelani

And you don’t need to wait for a professional biologist to test it first and to tell you that all that slimy yellow stuff on your face is indeed egg.

If it looks like egg, feels like egg and tastes like egg, it’s probably egg.

Pierre, let me correct you: yes, you do have egg on your face. Lots of it.

Bongs – I’ve also heard that on the Afrikaans news (RSG) at lunch today. A total ‘nitwit’, that guy. Apparently he says that he can demonstate to the court how Billy Downer SC has in the past dishonestly manipulated or fabricated evidence to obtain a favourable outcome for the prosecution in other cases. Quite some nerve this guy has, to accuse a Senior Consultus of dishonesty. If I were in Billy Downer’s shoes, I’d sue the pants off him. The magistrates Commission should act against him swiftly and decisively, because it is unethical and amounts to misconduct of a serious nature if a magistrate (even if he is an admitted advocate) becomes involved in the defence or prosecution of any case outside his line of duty. A magistrate may not even act on a pro amico basis, not even for someone in a disciplinary hearing. I wonder whether this guy has thought his actions through carefully. It would have been a different thing for him altogether if he merely gave the information he had to Zuma’s Counsel to pursue, and he could have been called as a witness. But for him to become involved as a legal representative or a legal adviser (so-called ‘friend of the court’), is preposerous to say the least. (Wonder if he is related to Zehir Omar, who also applied to be admitted as a so-called ‘friend of the court’ in circumstances where he could rather be seen as a ‘foe to justice’?) I think, he might be one of those who aspire to become a CC judge under the Zuma regime, one of the innuendo’s hanging in the air in the Hlophe thing. That would perfectly explain this kind of conduct.

This morning I heard Prof commenting on SAFM about a magistrate who has apparently filed an affidavit in the pending Zuma review application wherein the magistrate is impugning the intergrity of Billy Downer SC as a lead prosecutor in the Zuma matter. I thought by now Prof would have posted something on this important development.

The details are scanty at this stage and I doubt the relevance of the Honourable Magistrate’s affidavit in the Zuma matter – but this is another indication of how polluted and divisive Zuma’s prosecution has become-even amongst the members of the judiciary!!!
