The "objective facts" suggest that it is unlikely that Constitutional Court justices leaked their decision on the rescission of Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane, Parliaments advocate, Andrew Breitenbach, SC, argued in the Western Cape High Court on Thursday. Mkhwebane wants the court to interdict Parliament against continuing with its impeachment process against her and to stop President Cyril Ramaphosa from suspending her.
Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane brought an "utterly hopeless rescission application" as part of her "Stalingrad litigation" to prevent Parliament from impeaching her, the DA's counsel advocate Steven Budlender SC told the Western Cape High Court.
A Western Cape High Court judge asked Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane's lawyer whether she was alleging that Chief Justice Raymond Zondo lied. The court is hearing Mkhwebane's application for an interdict to prohibit Parliament's Section 194 Committee from continuing with her impeachment proceedings and to prevent President Cyril Ramaphosa from suspending her.
