Mkhwebane must reveal details of spy agency job - SCA

Johannesburg - DA MPs Glynnis Breytenbach and Werner Horn have succeeded in forcing Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane to reveal details of her application for a job at the State Security Agency (SSA).
The Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) on Thursday overturned a Western Cape High Court ruling dismissing Breytenbach and Horn’s bid to get access to documents relating to Mkhwebane’s SSA position.
The application relates to the DA’s decision not to support Mkhwebane during her interview for the position of public protector because the official opposition believed that her qualifications and experience made her unsuitable for the job.
