The public protector has turned an office that was a beacon of light during Thuli Madonsela’s tenure into a national embarrassment

Who is advising public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane?

The high court in Pretoria reviewed and set aside the 2018 report. Judge Ronel Tolmay didn’t exactly mince her words, describing it as “unlawful, unconstitutional and invalid”. The court also found that Mkhwebane had failed in her duties and violated the Public Protector Act and the constitution. In 2018, the same court set aside the remedial action contained in her Absa-Bankorp report. Judge Cynthia Pretorius at the time said Mkhwebane didn’t “fully understand her constitutional duty to be impartial and to perform her functions without fear, favour or prejudice”.

In the Vrede farm matter, she spared former Free State premier Ace Magashule and former agriculture MEC Mosebenzi Zwane. There’s no mention of them at all. That’s despite both being in leadership positions in the province when money was siphoned off, finding its way to the Gupta family.Mkhwebane is also embroiled in battles with cabinet ministers who are working to help clean up the state.

Uyempenga.

For what and in whose favour? Time of pandering to the whims of the haves and privileged is gone. Let the PP complete her term and have her replaced then. Until then, she must stay put and do her work unhindered, however unpalatable and disconcerting her investigations.

I'm really not sure who's cause she's serving any more. She's now useless to the Zupta Cartel who made sure she was recruited, neither Cyril nor any opposition party supports her, and I'm pretty sure her staff are embarrassed to be seen with her. Fire the cow.

Yawn. We are slowly normalising the idea that one can go as far as disrespecting us as Africans as long as they apologise afterwards. She must Apologise for wat For showing her true racist colours?. Then we get even after the 'fake' apology? It's not her first btw. She's used to this But the situation on the ground supports Helen's argument, you don't have to take her word for it, look at our SOE's and Municipalities to mention but a few, you'll have a tough & difficult time arguing against this Ms Madonsela🙏🙏

OPINIONISTA: Arise, King Cyril — but beware, Winter is comingThis is it, the moment we have all been waiting for. This eight-season series is coming to an end and the long-awaited finale had better be brilliant. Dates have been set, popcorn is ready, some have beers while others have soft drinks. Quiet please, it’s about to begin. oscarknysna Oscar, how are you chief. Very inspiration commentary. The National psyche is definitely echoing the clarion call of Thuma Mina
