“Idolatry. This love of money, idolising money, being ready to throw away any biblical principle, forgetting that the word of God says the love of money is the root [of all evil],” Mogoeng said.
Meanwhile, the IFP thanked Mogoeng for his service to SA and said it would like to wish him well in his future endeavours.
“Chief justice Mogoeng rose to the challenge placed before him when he was elected as the head of the judiciary in 2011, and has set the bar high for those who will follow in his footsteps,” the party said.
The IFP said it trusted that the new chief justice — yet to be appointed — would be a fit and proper person of integrity, a champion of the rule of law and a true patriot who would not allow themselves to be swayed by outside influences.
