Suspended Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane's latest report on former SA Revenue Service official Ivan Pillay – who last week lambasted her investigations into SARS – has been invalidated"by agreement" with her office. "any right to be heard on the remedial action that the first respondent contemplated granting against him."
She released that report on SARS' 2006 contract with software firm Budge, Barone & Dominick less than three hours after the State Capture Inquiry found in its latest report that Gordhan was instrumental in resisting the Guptas' takeover of Treasury. The Public Protector Act also says that the Public Protector should not consider any complaint unless its reported within two years of the incident, barring special circumstances. Mkhwebane, in this case, said she was deviating from the two-year rule because of"special circumstances".
