A court order sets aside a decision by South Africa’s Health Professions Council (HPCSA) that found UN Special Rapporteur Dr Tlaleng Mofokeng guilty of unprofessional conduct and imposed a R10,000 fine. The ruling also effectively overturns the HPCSA’s sanctions stemming from a complaint linked to her public posts.
The matter follows a complaint lodged by the South African Zionist Federation, which argued that her posts about Benjamin Netanyahu were inappropriate. The outlet reporting on the case frames the outcome as the complaint failing. Other details about the court’s reasoning, the legal grounds cited, and whether the HPCSA or complainants plan further steps are not included in the provided account.
Overall, the sources agree on the existence of the HPCSA finding and fine, the involvement of the Zionist Federation complaint, and the court’s decision to set the HPCSA outcome aside.
