Public protector Kholeka Gcaleka believes a court challenge by her former boss Busisiwe Mkhwebane over nonpayment of a multimillion rand gratuity will help clarify a legal conundrum of whether an impeached head of the institution is entitled to the money.
It is all systems go for premier Oscar Mabuyane’s state of the province address at the Christian Centre in Abbotsford, East London, on Thursday. Mabuyane will be delivering his last state of the province address in front of a large crowd after the Eastern Cape legislature increased the number of guests from 472 in 2023 to 1,750 guests.
Former public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane says she will challenge the Public Protector Office’s decision not to pay out her the end of term gratuity. She says the decision is unlawful and unconstitutional.
