The section 194 committee probing the fitness to hold office of suspended public protector advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane was adjourned on Monday amid yet another day of drama.
The committee was meant to hear evidence from Caroline Zulu-Sokoni, the Public Protector of the Republic of Zambia, who joined Monday’s hearings virtually.
The Public Protector does not choose to go to court and ‘waste’ taxpayers’ money. The office is taken to court precisely because the Constitutional Court told people that if they are unhappy with the office’s findings they should lawyer up. This marked a departure from the old practice.
