Chief justice nominee Mogoeng Mogoeng says his independence as a judge will supersede his church’s views on homosexuality.
During questioning at a special sitting of the Judicial Service Committee in Cape Town, Mogoeng said the position of the church to which he belongs, the Winners Chapel International, is similar to that of almost all Christian churches and religions, to which many other judges belong.
