South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has suspended Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane, the latest twist in a long-running battle between them. The removal of the graft ombudsman comes three months after the president asked Mkhwebane to provide reasons why he shouldn’t suspend her. In March, a parliamentary committee said it would proceed with a motion to impeach Mkhwebane on grounds of incapacity and misconduct.
She will remain suspended until the parliamentary process has been completed, it said. Mkhwebane is seen to be an ally of former president Jacob Zuma and his supporters who oppose Ramaphosa’s rule.
