The remaining four judges, who signed a petition questioning Chief Justice Maruping Dibotelo’s leadership style two years ago, have refused to apologise.

The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) had given the four until June 9, 2017 to tender Dibotelo the apology. A few weeks ago, JSC secretary, Michael Motlhabi served Justices Gaolapelwe Ketlogetswe, Lot Moroka, Godfrey Nthomiwa and Tshepo Motswagole with letters demanding they apologise.

This was after the JSC meeting, which was chaired by Dibotelo. This week sources close to the quartet are adamant that the judges did not heed the call.   “It is not true at all that our colleagues apologised to Dibotelo. There is nothing to apologise for,” the source said. Another source said the JSC would have to react.  “How?  We await their decision.”
