Cape Town – Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng has defended his comments about his religious beliefs on the use of the vaccine to combat Covid-19.
This comes after # Africa4Palestine filed a complaint against Mogoeng with the Judicial Service Committee.
This is the organization’s second complaint against Mogoeng in recent months.
Earlier this year, the organization filed a complaint with the JSC after Mogoeng supported Israel during an interview.
Tisetso Magama of # Africa4Palestine said his comments challenged proper conduct.
“We believe that the latest remarks from the Chief Justice undermine medical science and South Africa’s position on vaccine distribution.
“Furthermore, we are of the opinion that these latest comments on vaccines are similar to Mogoeng’s pro-Israeli comments, both are examples of how the Chief Justice is addressing controversial issues that clearly violate JSC’s code of conduct,” Magama said.
But Mogoeng stood firm, saying she had the right to raise issues in public and that any organization or person had the right to file a complaint if they were unhappy.
“I think it is appropriate that any South African who feels aggrieved by what any judge, magistrate says, including me, should make complaints.
“Whether the complaints are well founded or not is a matter for a relevant structure to decide.
“Then I’ll wait for the complaint to come in and deal with it when it comes,” Mogoeng said.
He said he had the right to raise issues that concerned him, including the vaccine issue.
He said he was adamant about his comments made at Tembisa hospital the day before about the vaccine.
“I said that if there is any vaccine that is manufactured to advance a satanic agenda of the mark of the beast 666, if there is any vaccine that is manufactured for the purpose of corrupting people’s DNA that vaccine must be burned, it must die.
“God must intervene and destroy it.
“So anyone who supports a vaccine that infuses 666 into people’s bodies, anyone who supports a vaccine that is meant to corrupt people’s DNA, would understand if they raise the alarm,” Mogoeng said.
He said that people had a right to their opinions in the country, as the Constitution allowed it.
The comments came as the government was preparing to make an initial payment of R327 million to join the Covax facility.
This is part of the R500m payment that is required for countries that would receive the vaccine when it becomes available.
