Lex Mpati is a South African judge, formerly President of the Supreme Court of Appeal of South Africa and Chancellor of Rhodes University, his alma mater.
Mpati has deep roots in Grahamstown and the province as a whole. He was born in Durban in 1949 but his schooling was in the Eastern Cape, first at St Joseph’s Catholic School at Fort Beaufort and then at Mary Waters High School in Grahamstown, from where he matriculated in 1967.
Mpati enrolled at Rhodes in 1979, under a special
that Pistorius did not intend to kill Ms Steenkamp, and this was not allowed.
The parole review board met on 18 September, but the decision was put off for two weeks. "They could not deal with all the matters at hand" according to Manelisi Wolela, spokesman for the Department of Correctional Services.
On 22 September 2015, the Supreme Court of Appeal confirmed the appeal would be heard on 3 November 2015 by Judges Lex Mpati, Nonkosi Mhlantla, Eric Leach, Steven Majiedt and Elizabeth Baartman.
