Mcebisi Ndletyana: Mkhwebane’s suspension is not proof of Ramaphosa’s bias - The public protector has issued a litany of frivolous objections aimed at blocking her impeachment
“Judges as members of civil society are entitled to hold views about issues of the day and they may express their views provided they do not compromise their judicial office. But, they are not entitled to inject their personal views into judgments or express their political preference.” This is an extract from a judgment of the supreme court of appeal handed down unanimously on 12 January 2009.
My mind was taken back to that 2009 judgment, almost 13 years ago on reading the judgment from the Cape Town high court issued by a full bench. The case involved the embattled public protector, Busisiwe Mkhwebane, who had pleaded with the court to order parliament to halt her impeachment process and to nullify her suspension by President Cyril Ramaphosa.
