Without income since 2012 and unable to afford lawyers, he filed the papers on his own before the apex court, which ruled that “the applicant has not placed before the court exceptional circumstances for direct access”.

In one of his correspondences, he recounted how he can’t even afford sanitary towels for his teenage daughters Mkhwebane, who also had powers to lodge a contempt application against members of the executive and officials who disregard her reports, had previously threatened to report Mapisa-Nqakula to the Speaker of the National Assembly.
