The Judicial Conduct Tribunal probing sexual harassment allegations against Judge President Selby Mbenenge has sought to understand why the complainant told him to "earn it" in response to his persistent requests for her images. This as the whatsapp message exchanges between the pair were put under the spotlight on the second day of the tribunal. According to the witness, Andiswa Mengo - the interactions which took place between June 2021 and November 2022 via in-person and electronic communication - were unwanted. Mengo spoke through an interpreter when she was probed on her "earn it" response. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to SABC reporter, Canny Maphanga
