In closing arguments at the Judicial Conduct Tribunal on 21 October 2025, advocates clashed over allegations of sexual harassment against Eastern Cape Judge President Selby Mbenenge by former court secretary Andiswa Mengo. The tribunal chair, retired Judge Bernard Ngoepe, questioned women's power in relationships, while Mengo's lawyer argued the conduct showed abuse of authority. Judgment has been reserved.
