Johannesburg High Court has dismissed the application by former presidents Jacob Zuma and Thabo Mbeki seeking the removal of retired Justice Sisi Khampepe as chairperson of the commission of inquiry into political interference in Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) cases.

Khampepe had earlier rejected their recusal bids in January 2026, citing a lack of evidence of bias and unreasonable delays in bringing the applications.

President Cyril Ramaphosa, who initially appointed her, had expressed concerns about her impartiality due to her past roles and supported her stepping aside, but the court’s decision upholds her position and paves the way for the long-delayed TRC inquiry to resume, bringing some relief to victims’ families awaiting accountability for apartheid-era crimes.
