The Judicial Conduct Tribunal investigating sexual harassment allegations against Eastern Cape Judge President Selby Mbenenge has been ongoing since late June 2025. The tribunal resumed after a six-week break to hear testimony from gender-based violence expert Dr. Lisa Vetten, who highlighted the challenges victims face due to power imbalances in the workplace. The complainant, High Court secretary Andiswa Mengo, accused Mbenenge of making unwanted sexual advances and refusing to accept her refusal. Mbenenge's legal team questioned the impartiality of Dr. Vetten, suggesting her analysis relied heavily on the complainant's testimony. The hearing also featured testimony from Mbenenge’s former secretary, Zintle Nkqayi, who disputed parts of Mengo's account, including claims that Mbenenge exposed himself to Mengo. Nkqayi's testimony raised questions about the accuser's version of events. The tribunal continues to hear evidence, including from ICT expert Dr. Vincent Mello, who analyzed the use of emojis in text messages exchanged between Mbenenge and Mengo. The proceedings are taking place in Sandton, with live coverage provided by multiple news outlets. The tribunal is now hearing from witnesses called by Mbenenge as he prepares to present his defense.
