Suspended public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane is looking forward to stating her case in parliament’s impeachment hearing.
“Definitely you will hear from me,” she said, adding that the court judgments against her, which the DA relied on when it tabled a motion for her impeachment, were not the truth.“They will hear from me and I am very excited about the fact that it’s outside the court process and litigation.
It was unfortunate that she was being judged on less than 20 cases her office lost in court out of more than 60,000 matters it had dealt with since her appointment in October 2016. When it was her turn to speak, the public would hear “what really happened” with the Bankorp-CIEX, Vrede dairy farm and the Financial Services Board investigations.In his opening statement, her legal representative advocate Dali Mpofu accused parliament and President Cyril Ramaphosa of “unfairness” and “sabotaging” Mkhwebane in fighting the impeachment and her court cases.
Mkhwebane, who challenged the parliamentary rules in the Western Cape High Court, was pleased that the court had ruled she could have legal representation in the impeachment process.
