This is the message the public protector's office sent to Mkhwebane, who on Friday said she would be returning to her office as early as Saturday.
In a letter dated September 9, which TimesLIVE has seen, acting public protector Kholeka Gcaleka told Mkhwebane her suspension remains effective.
Gcaleka said their attorneys advised that an appeal to the Constitutional Court suspends the high court order. “Your earlier WhatsApp communication to arrange for access to the premises of the Public Protector South Africa has reference. Accordingly, the advice received is the high court order is not presently operative and your suspension from the position of public protector remains effective,” Gcaleka said in the letter.
She added the office of the public protector remains committed to funding Mkhwebane's challenge of her suspension and requested that her attorneys advise the CEO as soon as possible of any further legal services that may be required.
