Public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane. Picture: ESA ALEXANDER/SUNDAY TIMES
The shot in the arm for rule of law, as administered by the Constitutional Court in the Jacob Zuma contempt proceedings, and in dismissing the appeal of the Public Protector in the CR17 campaign case that wasn’t, has served as a welcome palliative for the public to the pressures of the pandemic and the reintroduction of the isolation that comes with a level 4 lockdown.
It is necessary that the President resist any possible temptation to do a back-room political deal with Zuma, as the latter faces less than four months of actual incarceration. It is most pressing that the President forthwith suspend the Public Protector, who appears to live in a “fact free and law free” environment when she turns her hand to writing the many reports for which she is now infamous.
The parliamentary proceedings pending against the Public Protector are likely to be long and drawn out; her Stalingrad strategy there is designed to stretch them beyond the expiry of her term of office.
The courts are burdened with unnecessary and costly reviews of the handiwork of the Public Protector, the victims of her misguidedness are distracted from their work by the need to litigate against her, and the high cost to the country of having a person with her woeful track record in office all suggest it is urgent that the Public Protector be suspended.
