The report, which DA leader Mmusi Maimane described as a ‘mind-boggling whitewash’ in February last year, was met with harsh criticism from his party, which was of the view is that the Public Protector was imprudent in her investigation.

which she ‘disagrees with fundamentally’, saying that setting aside the report may be interpreted as the court letting people implicated in the report off the hook.

But Segalwe did say that Mkhwebane was “astonished” by the ruling, given that, during arguments in October 2017, her counsel went to great lengths to make several issues regarding her investigation clear to the court. “She could not investigate issues that were in the public space such as the #GuptaLeaks because this office, in the State of Capture report, had already directed that a commission of inquiry be established to look into state capture claims. The suggestion being made is that she should have launched a parallel investigation to look into what her office had already deferred to the commission — a view she finds illogical…” Segwale said.

“When I met with these intended beneficiaries in Vrede almost two years ago, I undertook to fight this matter on all fronts. The DA laid the initial complaint with the Public Protector and, following the release of her report, we held the view that the report was a ‘whitewash’, as it failed to hold to account those responsible for the theft of almost R200-million of public money. Today, the Gauteng High Court has vindicated our view, as it held this report to be unconstitutional and invalid.

The ruling was expected because the judge is white and whites are racists.
