It's Mkhwebane vs Parliament in court as fight over removal from office heats up

The matter is set down for hearing in the high court in Cape Town on Wednesday, and is divided into two parts.

Section 194 provides that the pubic protector, the auditor-general or a member of a commission established by Chapter 9 of the Constitution may be removed from office only on the ground of misconduct, incapacity or incompetence. In her application, Mkhwebane said in determining whether she committed impeachable conduct, the National Assembly cannot rely on the findings of judges in litigation concerning her.

"The fact that the DA has attached the judgments of certain courts as evidence in support of those charges does not detract from this," Modise said.
