Three judges to review application by suspended judges

Justices Zibani Makhwade and Leatile Dambe will join Walia to complete the bench. There is no set date for argument of the case at the moment. The case is stuck because the suspended quartet contended that the case record from the Attorney General is not complete. The suspended judges; Key Dingake, Modiri Letsididi, Mercy Garekwe and Ranier Busang have filed the review application to interdict the sitting of the Tribunal.

They also want their suspensions by President Ian Khama set aside. The four, in their founding affidavits, have stated that the President’s decision to suspend them and appoint the tribunal to investigate their conduct was unconstitutional, unlawful and invalid.
