The Higher Education Transformation Network (HETN) says the official complaint it has lodged against advocate Paul Hoffman has now been referred to the General Council of the Bar.
The complaint by HETN was lodged last month, following Hoffman’s earlier complaint, through his organisation the Institute for Public Liability, against Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng.
In a statement on Sunday, HETN said it had received confirmation from the Cape Bar Council that its complaint “has been formally referred to the General Council of the Bar”.
Last month, Hoffmann went to the Judicial Service Commission and laid a complaint against Mogoeng after a speech by the chief justice on transformation.
