Johannesburg - With all eyes on Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane, who is simultaneously facing an impeachment hearing and calls for her to resign from the Chapter 9 institution, public opinion is again divided.
Mkhwebane is digging in, saying the panel of Justice Bess Nkabinde, advocate Dumisa Ntsebeza SC and advocate John de Waal SC which gave the green for her impeachment jumped the gun.
On the side of Mkhwebane is Democracy in Action, an organisation which once drove a fundraising campaign to settle the personal cost orders levied on her by courts. Across the gulf are her detractors. Among them is the Congress of the People (Cope) which wants her to resign even before even the impeachment process starts.
