EFF Podcast Episode 13: Judge John Hlophe On The EFF Podcast

Judge John Hlophe is a respected Member of the Judiciary whose long history of transformation in law has made him a confrontational figure to the white-capital establishment. On this episode, Judge Hlophe speaks about the history of Pan-Africanist struggle, his experiences as the Judge President of the Western Cape High Court, Politics, the Constitution of South Africa and the importance of land in the liberation of our people.

[@denniskoekemoer2325]

JP Hlophe impressed with the dignified manner in which he deliberated the issues of our country. Hopefully, political leaders in our country will follow suit.If they show the same respect and dignity to each other we may get results. We do not have to agree with each other on all matters, but mutual respect is the cornerstone of all successful negotiations.

This man is very intelligent, he explains the South African constitution easy n makes it easy to relate👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@thandimasilela8947]

I just love the man ever since I was young I've always loved him he's very smart, and he's helped and mentored a lot of black female lawyers. I'm against him being impeached how can a man work for so many years and just when he's about to enjoy his retirement "imigodoyi" wants to take all what he's worked for. I have the same view with judge Motata let mzansi fight for this man especially rational blacks. On a lighter note he looks like my father 😂😜but that's not the reason I love him, l love him for his contribution in legal matters. You are going nowhere judge

i agree with what was discussed here & it is true that nationalisation leads to massive job creation, which was the success of the Afrikaners. Why did these SOE's crumble the last 30 years? SAA used to have 140 boeings & fly to 70 destinations worldwide - today it only has 9 aircraft left & is in massive debt. What will the EFF do to fix these SOE's?

[@skimanization]

Judge Hlophe is a hip judge and he's spot on. All what he said in this interview shows that he's fully aware of what EFF want to achieve and he fully supports it. He'll make a good judge of the constitutional court should EFF win the 2024 elections. I agree with him the big issue is LAND and ECONOMIC freedom.

Wo! What an interesting conversation between Judge Hlophe and the EFF party lady members, which was an eyes opener, and the brains refresher and reminder to so many people of S.A. All the important and intelligent questions which were asked by that lady, where judge Hlophe executed intelligently most of them, if not all of them. As people who were listening, I am sure they all like to say a very big thank you to both of them. Let me say, I don't know why Judge Hlophe was suspended for, which doesn't really matter anymore, as whatever the discussion they both had gave a lot of sense and knowledge to many S.A citizens. AS we all know that good speeches without actions really mean nothing, but never the less, thank you very much for that information.

Dr Hlope, thanks for nourishing our brains, just to add meaningful features of the interview South Africa government is doomed on ICT matters. My small contribution to the EFF is to investigate the evergreen implementation of the IFMS Project by the National Treasury which has been intentionally delayed and used as a cash cow. The looting spree of the IFMS is a strategic plan similar to Eskom, Medupi et al. It has taken approximately two decades for the back and forth of the unfinished IFMS without concrete results.

[@OscarMothupi]

He's a great legal intellectual and an activist. But as a Judge I think he's limited by the scope of his work and he's already done a lot. I think he would do better as a legal activist for example he could identify those farms for a legal test case to expropriate them without compensation. Maybe this is what we need. I'm not sure why it was never done as he just explained it.
