Public Protector office to avail additional R4m towards Mkhwebane’s legal funding: The Public Protector's office will avail an additional R4m to fund the suspended head of the institution Adv Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s legal representation in parliament’s…

The Public Protector’s office will avail an additional R4m to fund the suspended head of the institution Adv Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s legal representation in parliament’s Section 194 inquiry.

She said they would make the R4m available to support the Section 194 process “because we don’t want anything to disturb the process”. The costs escalated to about R30m, of which R25m has already been paid and over R4m the office has committed to settle. “The budget that we have available now is only enough for our operational costs, to pay bills that had been accumulating since last year, so it’s very little and we cannot afford,” she said.

“From this year, we don’t have any amount to allocate for these legal fees. We have our operations to run which have stagnated because of the money we made provisions for,” Gcaleka said.
