Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane has urged the executive arms of government to emulate former president Nelson Mandela by submitting themselves to accountability processes whenever their conduct is under the scrutiny of constitutional institutions.
"Even when his own supporters saw his appearance in court as a humiliation, Mandela was not offended. Instead, he saw his attendance of the proceedings as a sign of respect for the administration of justice," she said while addressing Eastern Cape Premier Oscar Mabuyane and his provincial cabinet on the eve of Nelson Mandela International Day in Bhisho.
Mkhwebane reflected on various instances where subjects of her investigation refused to submit themselves to accountability processes and instead opted to rather discredit her. The Public Protector previously warned organs of state that her remedial action was binding - not optional.
