Suspended Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s legal team, led by advocate Dali Mpofu, was virtually back in the benches as day 33 of her Section 194 impeachment inquiry remained on track.

On Wednesday, advocate Bright Shabalala, for Suspended Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane, attempted to use the cross-examination of Nelisiwe Thejane

A panel chaired by retired Constitutional Court Justice Bess Nkabinde found there was “substantial information that constitutesNot only that, the panel found there was enough information that Mkhwebane had “grossly overreached and exceeded the bounds of her powers in terms of the Constitution and the Public Protector Act by unconstitutionally encroaching on Parliament’s exclusive authority when she directed Parliament to initiate a process to amend the Constitution”.

He wished, he said, to clear up what had actually occurred on 27 October when Mpofu and lawyers from Seanego Attorneys, as well as to provide an update on the Public Protector’s threatened legal challenge to Dyantyi and DA MP Kevin Mileham’s recusal and the refusal thereof. Mpofu took a second crack at Thejane after Shabalala, turning up the heat in an attempt to unmask the real “hand” behind the witness and who it was that had “put words into her mouth”.Even in the face of a threat by Mpofu that he would lay a criminal charge against Thejane for “false testimony”, she stood firm.Mkhwebane, said Mpofu, was the best Public Protector South Africa had ever seen and was working hard to clear a backlog of cases left by her predecessor, Thuli Madonsela.

Further visions of economic emancipation, he said, included: “The amount of money created is [to be] decided by the Monetary Trusteeship, which is comprised of no fewer than seven but not more than 11 competent individuals who have no independent private interest, to be appointed by the National Assembly and answerable to it on a regular basis” and that this “trusteeship” would meet once a month.
