A former advocate barred from the court buildings of the Gauteng division by Judge President Dunstan Mlambo, on Thursday urgently turned to the Constitutional Court, saying Mlambo was ‘circulating false information’ about him in the media.

Mlambo last week directed all security personnel at both of the Gauteng courts’ buildings to refuse entry to Senzo Wiseman Mkhize ‘as he has no legitimate business therein’.

Although he was struck off in September 2023, he ‘continues to come into the court buildings ... demanding a right of appearance before a number of judges, allegedly on the instruction of ‘clients’,’ said Mlambo.

The Sunday Times reports that Mkhize subsequently asked the apex court to urgently interdict Mlambo from his ‘continuous conduct’ in preventing his entry into the courts and from circulating false information to the media or in the public domain without notifying him first.

He told the Sunday Times the striking off order was suspended because he had applied to the Constitutional Court to appeal it.

‘I was given a case number. The moment you file at the Constitutional Court, the (High Court) order is suspended’.

He said he had also applied for his readmission as an advocate.

Mlambo’s directive meant that he could not get into court to pursue this case.
