Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s urgent court application to secure her immediate return to work will be heard on Friday, two sources have told TimesLIVE.
One of the reasons Mkhwebane cited for going back to the office over the weekend was “to tackle the urgent tasks awaiting at my office including the most urgent issue of the Phala Phala investigation”.
The letter to the Western Cape High Court from the public protector’s office, sent on Sunday, said the office “noted numerous factual averments” in Mkhwebane’s application. It said lawyers for the office had been instructed to apply to intervene in Mkhwebane’s urgent litigation “to place necessary facts before this court” relevant to pending investigations.
She said an undertaking had been given to the marchers that the matter would be looked at in the next seven days — “a period which expires on Friday September 16 which is around the corner”.
