Judges make mistakes too, says Mkhwebane of high court judge’s miscalculation of Estina dairy farm cost orderPublic Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane has retaliated at axed chief operations officer Basani Baloyi who claimed that she was “purged” as a result of being “an obstacle to Mkhwebane and chief executive Vussy Mahlangu using their powers for their own personal advancement”.
The Public Protector also questioned why Baloyi had resorted to approaching the high court instead of the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration or the labour court in her attempt to deal with a work-related matter. “How I challenge her for dismissing me is incumbent on me, and the Public Protector should not try to enforce how I should go about challenging her.
Mkhwebane was at pains to try to explain that she had not fired Baloyi, saying that “her probation period was not confirmed. “I was informed that Baloyi was discussing sensitive information at a funeral and I requested that the chief executive address her on such behaviour,” said Mkhwebane. She also alleged that Mkhwebane improperly conducted investigations against Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan as well as Water and Sanitation Minister Gugile Nkwinti, reports that have since been challenged in court.
