Mkhwebane has filed an urgent application in the Western Cape High Court asking for an interdict to halt the parliamentary process.
National Assembly Speaker Thandi Modise is considering another DA motion to remove Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane after the previous motion was withdrawn and another submitted.
On Tuesday, parliament’s spokesperson Moloto Mothapo said in a statement Modise had received correspondence from Mazzone “advising of the withdrawal of her motion proposing that proceedings be started to remove the Public Protector from office”.“Section 194 of the Constitution and the rules of the National Assembly permit any member of the National Assembly to submit a substantive motion to initiate a procedure to remove the holder of a public office.
Modise would have appointed this panel – after receiving nominations from all parties in parliament – by the end of this month.“The withdrawal of the DA’s motion, which was tabled in December 2019, means that the attendant process that subsequently ensued, which includes the establishment of an external panel of experts to conduct a prima facie assessment of the motion, falls away.
