This was because the evidence clearly showed that it was sexual harassment, Mengo’s advocate argued on Tuesday. “That is the very definition of sexual harassment,” she said. The tribunal, chaired by retired Judge Bernard Ngoepe, heard closing arguments in the matter in which Mengo accuses Mbenenge of sending her multiple WhatsApp messages between 2021 and 2022. This was flirting and does not constitute sexual harassment,” he submitted. In order for it to constitute sexual harassment, it must be unwanted, persistent, humiliating, or threatening adverse consequences.
