In a statement on Thursday, the JSC said the meeting would be concerned with procedural preliminaries and "not with determining the factual allegations underlying the complaints".
Legal representatives of the complainants would have the opportunity to address the commission. The agenda set out would determine which commissioners would officiate in all or any of the further stages of the complaints procedure and whether the Constitutional Court judges and Hlophe had,
respectively and judged purely on the papers at this stage, made out a prima facie case of gross misconduct within the meaning of Section 177 (1)(a) of the constitution.
" [and...if either party has done so, whether such complaint(s) should be the subject of a formal hearing by the Commission in due course."
It would also discuss, should a hearing occur, whether it would be in public.
The meeting, which would be held at the Airport Grand Hotel in Johannesburg at 10am on Saturday, would not be open to the public and the media in particular, the JSC said.
