The language and tone of papers submitted in a civil matter by two legal counsel instructed by a Makhanda law firm prompted the ire of the judge who heard the case.
On 5 April, evidence leaders Nazreen Bawa and Ncumisa Mayosi revealed that Busisiwe Mkhwebane had followed the advice of disbarred fugitive from justice, Paul Ngobeni.
Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane acted on the advice of a disbarred "fugitive from justice" when she tried to second-guess the Constitutional Court's invalidation of her CR17 report.
As Mkhwebane jumped through legal hoops throughout her tenure, losing several high-profile political cases along the way and leading to her very impeachment, it was Paul Ngobeni who played a key and strategic role, the Section 194 impeachment inquiry heard on Wednesday.
Investigating and holding the ‘deep state’ to account is what has landed her in trouble, suspended Public Protector Busisiswe Mkhwebane continued to argue on Tuesday.
