Suspended public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane has been ordered to pay the costs of the application in her personal capacity.
“The Constitutional Court has considered the application for rescission. It has concluded that the application should be dismissed as no case has been made out for rescission. The applicant ought to pay costs in her personal capacity, as this application constitutes an abuse of process of court,” said the order.
Chief justice Raymond Zondo and justice Jody Kollapen did not participate in the decision. Zondo was cited as a party to the second rescission application. In the SMS, Ismail Abramjee said he had it “on very good authority” that the ConCourt had decided to reject Mkhwebane's first rescission application and would be announcing that decision before the coming Friday, which would have been April 29.
