Incumbent Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane had done more damage to the office of the public protector than anyone else, said counsel for Pravin Gordhan, Wim Tengove SC, in court on Tuesday.
Up until that point in Trengove’s reply, the damning judgment of the Constitutional Court, handed down just the day before, had barely been mentioned in the interdict application. However Masuku centred his argument around the allegations made by Gordhan in his papers that Mkhwebane had been biased against him and had acted with an ulterior purpose.
But Trengove said that it was important to distinguish the office of the Public Protector from its incumbent. Gordhan had a deep respect for the office, he said. Not only had Mkhwebane been accused of lacking integrity, but the Constitutional Court had upheld those accusations, he said, and referred the court to some of the most scathing parts of the ConCourt’s judgment.
If she were to approve, he would have to implement the plan. If she did not approve, he would have to reconsider and resubmit - “and now it must all have been done within 30 days,” said Chaskalson.
