SA not in constitutional crisis: Mogoeng

He addressed the media last night after an almost seven hour meeting between the judiciary and the executive chaired by President Jacob Zuma.

The historic meeting was called for by Mogoeng after what he called recent public attacks on the judiciary. 

Mogoeng said from where the judiciary stands there is no constitutional crisis. 

''All we see is a moment for deep reflection, a moment for a brutal, institutional self introspection,'' he said.

Mogoeng said they didn't believe that the judiciary was overreaching but it would be very arrogant of them to feel that only judges could question how the judiciary worked. 

''None of us should allow themselves to be blinded by their own science of correctness. Open yourself up to the concerns of others, even if you may not agree with them. There may just be something to learn from that criticism,'' he added.
