Mkhwebane acted with 'reckless disregard' in finding on Ramaphosa's campaign donation from Bosasa - lawyer

Advocate Wim Trengove has accused public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane of misreading the law and acting with"reckless disregard" when she found that President Cyril Ramaphosa had misled parliament.

Mkhwebane found in July last year that Ramaphosa “deliberately” misled parliament about a donation made to his CR17 campaign. Trengove argued on behalf of Ramaphosa said Mkhwebane shouldn't have found the president guilty of deliberately misleading parliament because he had acted with"admirable integrity and honesty" when dealing with the question about the donation asked by former DA leader Mmusi Maimane in parliament. "There's no evidence that the president deliberately misled parliament... it's hard to understand how can a lawyer misread the text of law," Trengove argued.
