Perhaps there is nothing wrong with so accepting the shares.If i have red the article correctly, the shares was donated to the judge, worth of R7m. That should make any person become worried. What i gather from the remark of the judge saying there is nothing wrong with accepting a donation, i suppose. Is tantamount to saying that, is was given to me in my personal capacity and there was no infringement of any rights.What he forgets however is, that when push comes to shove effectively the entire South African community are drawn into and inevitably affected by this mess.Moreover, that it is actions such as this that cast doubt as to the credibility and the legitimacy of our courts.I am patiently awaiting front page coverage, reading, Judges Corrupt. As you said prof he had acted extremely unethical and should give those share to those who need it most. Judges are subject to the constitution only and should apply the law without fear, favour or prejudice. That is why he was elected to the bench and why he should get rid of those shares.Or he can quit venture into commerce and we will not accuse him of being unethical. Are judges also guided be greed, well i suppose they are just human after all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
