Suspended Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane couldn’t obtain a legal team for the 'unrealistic and absurd' fee of R4 million, leaving the Section 194 committee inquiring into her fitness for office with no choice but to postpone her continued evidence by a week.
Suspended Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane couldn’t obtain a legal team for the “unrealistic and absurd” fee of R4-million, leaving the Section 194 committee inquiring into her fitness for office with no choice but to postpone her continued evidence by a week. Mkhwebane was scheduled to continue with her testimony on Monday, after it screeched to a halt on 31 March due to an impasse about the funding of her legal team. The cash-strapped Office of the Public Protector indicated it couldn’t continue to fund her ever-burgeoning legal bill in the new financial year.
The role of the State Security Agency and its off-the-books ‘rogue’ Special Operations Unit has again surfaced at Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s Section 194 impeachment inquiry.
