Mkhwebane also wants objectionable parts of the DA’s answering affidavit struck for being “scandalous, vexatious, hearsay, argumentative, and, where applicable, irrelevant in parts”. “I deny I had not investigated a third of the complaints in the Vrede dairy matter. I investigated those complaints that have come to my office. However, due to limited resources, I postponed the other part of the complaint for future investigations which are currently underway,” read Mkhwebane’s affidavit.

DA chief whip Natasha Mazzone withdrew this motion and submitted another, with 7,000 pages of what the DA deems as further evidence that Mkhwebane should be removed. “Ordinarily, the overall conduct of the speaker in this matter would be deserving not only of a punitive cost order, but also personal costs,” read Mkhwebane’s affidavit.
