4) At its meeting held on 26 August 2010, the Commission, having considered Mr Rambau's response, resolved to advise the Minster to provisionally suspend Mr Rambau from office in terms of section 13(3)(a) of the Act. The Commission is of the view that that the charges against Mr Rambau are of such a serious nature as to make it inappropriate for him to continue to perform the functions of a Magistrate while the allegations are being investigated. The Commission is of the view that the alleged conduct by MR Rambau s of such a serious nature that it would justify his removal from office if he were found guilty of the misconduct charges preferred against him.
