The embattled Busisiwe Mkhwebane is set to appear before parliament in July.
Image:Public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane is scheduled to appear before parliament’s Section 194 inquiry investigating her fitness to hold office in July.The provisional dates for Mkhwebane’s appearance are July 26-29. Additional hearing days will be added if necessary, the committee said.
The court last week refused to rescind its previous judgment against her which cleared the way for the impeachment process to proceed against her. Mkhwebane had approached the Western Cape High Court in March seeking to interdict the parliamentary process and to stop President Cyril Ramaphosa from suspending her.
That SMS resulted in the April 26 hearings being postponed to May 18 and 19 to allow the parties to report the matter to chief justice Raymond Zondo and for him to investigate.“But the festival continues. We have since received a communication wherein the public protector wants the proceedings of May 18 and 19 postponed pending the investigation by the chief justice,” said parliamentary legal adviser Siviwe Njikela.
