Counsel for the EFF, Tembeka Ngcukaitobi, said that courts should treat interim interdicts differently when it came to the public protector. He said the EFF had sought to join the case in the public interest to protect the office of the public protector.

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.

He is a brilliant legal mind but here he is arguing for his supper. And is offering nothing substantial than casuistic obfuscation of the law. Findings must be based on fact and the law, otherwise they must be interdicted and reviewed. To redeem abuse of the law.

He too damaged sars

I think the EFF protests too much...why

What happened to the principle of we are all equal before the law? What is good for the goose is surely good for the gander.

Hmm, she is special (for all the wrong reasons) neh?

Pravin Gordhan went to insult to incumbent inst6🤣😂
