Fired Court Registrar fights dismissal

Friday, September 27, 2019

Assistant Registrar of the High Court, Dumisani Basupi is fighting to stop the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) from making a recommendation for the President to dismiss him from work.

Basupi who was once a Magistrate in Hukuntsi had disciplinary proceedings instituted against her by the JSC after being found to have abused office and having lied under oath by the court.
