Baloyi is also expected to testify why she believes that Mkhwebane and former CEO Vusi Mahlangu terminated her contract.Less than a year in office, calls for Mkhwebane’s removal from office started with her fitness to hold office being questioned. One of her remedial actions related to the CIEX report. She had recommended that the mandate of the Reserve Bank be amended by Parliament.
One of the DA’s requests for an investigation into Mkhwebane’s fitness to hold office first landed on the table of former National Assembly Speaker Baleka Mbete in October 2017. Swart agreed: “Chair I still believe your course of action that an ad-hoc committee deals with the matter is better. Let us also remember the basis of the way that you as the chairperson have to amend the Constitution.”
