@MediaZaban865 Johnson participated in shortlisting of her husband and during the interview she participated in scoring people who were contesting her husban for that position then only recused when it was her husband. Her husband got the job therefore she actively hired her husband.
@errolbsk I've always said you are stupid and you always florish in showing your stupidity. She said it herself that she revieved high level briefings about these cases they are mentioning so here you go again doing what you do best.
RELEVANT CASE LAW & PRECEDENTS
The principles governing conflict of interest, recusal, and ethical conduct by public officials have been consistently affirmed in South African jurisprudence.
The following cases are instructive:
1. President of the Republic of South Africa and Others v South African Rugby Football Union and Others (SARFU Case) [1999] ZACC 11
The Constitutional Court emphasized that โjustice must not only be done but must be seen to be done.โ Even a reasonable apprehension of bias is sufficient to require recusal. Participation in a matter where personal relationships are involved compromises public confidence in impartiality.
2. Bernert v Absa Bank Ltd [2011] ZACC 36
The Court held that the appearance of bias can be as damaging as actual bias. The test is objective โ whether a reasonable, informed observer would perceive a risk that the decision-maker might not act impartially.
3. S v Basson [2007] ZACC 10
This case reaffirmed that decision-makers in public office bear a duty to avoid situations that compromise independence, and that failure to recuse may amount to misconduct where impartiality is reasonably questioned.
4. Bertelsmann v Louw NO and Others (2006) 3 SA 562 (T)
The Court found that failure to recuse in the face of an apparent conflict of interest constitutes gross misconduct. Disclosure alone is insufficient โ the official must withdraw entirely from participation.
5. Public Protector v South African Reserve Bank [2019] ZACC 29
The Constitutional Court stressed that public officials exercising investigative or adjudicative power must act without fear, favour or prejudice, and that ethical lapses erode public trust in constitutional institutions.
These precedents clearly establish that where a senior official (such as Adv. Johnson) participates in a selection process involving her spouse, the duty to recuse is absolute.
Disclosure does not cure the conflict; recusal is mandatory to maintain institutional integrity.

General Dumisani Khumalo (Head of Crime Intelligence):
On hiring Brigadier Dineo Mokwele from BMW:
1. We were looking for a Technical Support Services Head, qualified in mechatronics, i.e. both mechanical & electronic engineering. For our covert operations.
2. Mokwele was a supervisor of BMW technicians who handled both mechanical & electronic work.
3. As a panel, we agreed that she met all the position requirements
4. She holds the rank of Brigadier because that was the title under which the position was advertised.
SAPS works that way. For example, the SAPS Divisional Commissioner is from National Treasury without police experience, yet he holds Lieutenant General rank because that corresponds to his level within SAPS.
5. My bail conditions do not stop me from talking to police officers, I just can't enter my office to perform Crime Intelligence duties.
Hebanna.... Julius must stop degrading Mama Winnie's name and character just to fit into good books of drug cartels and criminals. Asizi, he's on his own!
@porklady@LandNoli This idiot is crazy. When whites invaded our country in 1652 they found Khoi & San in Cape Town and it doesn't mean that they were also in Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal Natal, Free State and other provinces.
