Former presidents Jacob Zuma and Thabo Mbeki’s attempts to have Justice Sisi Khampepe recuse herself from the judicial commission of inquiry, which investigates alleged interference in the prosecution of Truth and Reconciliation Commission cases, have been denied. The commission is crucial in addressing past injustices related to the prosecution of these cases. Khampepe’s role as chairperson remains intact despite the former leaders’ objections. This decision underscores the ongoing efforts to uphold judicial independence in South Africa.
