Qubudile Dyantyi, chairperson of the section 194 enquiry into the fitness of public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane to hold office, has decided not to recuse himself after a second application from Mkhwebane.
Mkhwebane made the latest application more than a week ago, alleging her husband David Skosana received a call from the late ANC MPin which she allegedly tried to extort a bribe from Skosana to benefit herself and Dyantyi.
Dyantyi had agreed to reply to the recusal application by last Friday. However, Mkhwebane failed to provide all the recordings which she relied on in her application. Dyantyi said such allegations were hurtful and offensive due to his dedication and commitment to a fair process. “I have always considered myself as a person of integrity who lives his life based on the principles of fairness, integrity, honesty and strong civic responsibility.
“I will not allow myself to be distracted from the important work I and my fellow members of the committee have undertaken to do. I have performed to the best of my ability and I go forward, confident recusal will not serve the best interest of the committee, parliament or the public interest at this critical juncture,” he said.
