A report by a global anti-corruption journalism organisation has revealed that Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane received a $5000 payment linked to a broader network involving the Gupta family, in 2014, but in a statement issued late on Tuesday, Mkhwebane dismissed the OCCRP report as"malicious and defamatory".reported on Tuesday the payment to Mkhwebane was flagged by multi-national bank HSBC as part of the bank’s broader internal investigation into Gupta linked entities.

According to the OCCRP report, the funds were paid from an account of an HSBC subsidiary in Hong Kong directly into Mkhwebane's First National Bank account in South Africa in June 2014, at the height of the Gupta's state capture reign. - She was made aware that a"certain politician" was"pushing for her arrest on the false claims that she was involved in the passing of her husband and money laundering". She learned of these claims through questions posed by a Sunday newspaper. Mkhwebane stated that her late husband had taken his own life and had suffered from depression.

There no smoke 💨 without fire 🔥

Funny coming from a person who is part of an orchestrated campaign to discredit others only for them to be saved by courts.

I wish She can prove it so I can regain confidence in her

Bereka mosadi

But did she receive the money or not ?

Shes has dicredited herself without any help.

She should tell somebody who cares. She has single handedly under the direction of her handlers, Ace and Jacob almost crippled this country. She should be charged with treason and locked away.

The Bell Potinger clan.

Tell us where did the money come from and what for

She discredits herself all on her own, no need for anyone else to put in the effort to discredit her. 🙈🙈🤣🤣🤣

Now they victimized you .What about Mr President who you worked so hard to find him guilty of donations money .The money it never went to Mr Ramaphosa's pockets. .It was used for campaigned not for himself. Back off please ...

If this is true it should not be a problem for her to show her bank statement on that specific date

No reason to discredit you, you’re doing a great job doing it yourself!🍾🎉 PublicProtector or publicPredator

Where is proof.

Is this the same person who is hunting Pravin, Ramaphosa like wounded trophies? Emerging as on payroll of the Guptas.

Did she receive the $5000.00?

She seems to be doing quite a good job of discrediting herself.

Dont need a campaign, she is doing very well on her own.

Dear PP, You are discrediting yourself with your behaviour.

She's doing a fine job of discrediting herself, all by herself....perhaps she should lodge a complaint with the Public Protector's office to protect her from herself? 😉

Difficulties to believe her, there's a proof of two separate transfers for two different amounts to her account all in 2014.

Get out of office while you still ahead and while you have a chance. Lots more is coming your way, I think that these so called allegations are true. Tell uBaba kaDuduzani that you can no longer divert attention to other people. You tried your best. ABSOLUTELY🤣🤣

Sue or take them to the ombudsman then.

Mkhwebane sound like Zuma,now she is a victim of a plot and conspiracies. The next thing she'll tell us is everybody or WMC is conspiring against her, because she's black

Vele!!!!!

Simza_396225 Only the Zuptas herd will believe that🤞🤔

We know and we even knew more is yet to come for her because these devils are cruel and very sofisticated

orchestrated campaign? maybe......but did you or did you not receive the money, Advocate?

Adv Mkhwebane surely the First official to seriously take on big Predator Capital that really own Our Elected Officials and Media, and makes sense that she face attack from the NGO, Journalist, Politician, Judge who Sold their Soul for Fame and Fortune. SameTypeofPsycho.

Yip , the money was just mysteriously deposited into your account , no wonder you botched the estina investigation

Fortunately we know.

She mustn't worry herself, we know....

Let her instruct the NPA to investigate her rather defending herself.

CallMeStoic Journalist always giving us unfounded and unresearched stories. Y'all lack the ability to research and distinguish between fake and real stories

Hopefully you're also looking at the money laundering allegations in that Thumanani of yours since you busy with bank accounts.

That’s the usual response, let’s take it under review

“Eish”. *scratches head*

So is she denying receiving the money or not?

Unfortunately you only have yourself to blame for this 🎯

Run little rat run

I wouldn't believe a single word that came out of that mouth anyway

If she’s investigating everyone let’s investigate her

RaymondSuttner Not so Hun. You've brought upon yourself a political persona of questionable loyalties through your conduct which has been exposed & criticised repeatedly by the highest courts of the land. In short, you've only yrself to thank for being investigated and put under the spotlight.

She sounds just like her deployer! 😏🤨🙄🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

It's from bell Pottinger

U such a clown Mdrazanyana.

The proof is there. Start packing your bags savage.

DisCredit Her She Has Already

Ag kak man.

Sue HSBC. Show them who's the boss. Don't allow them talking crap. I'm sure the hole of SA is behind you.

Judas took 70 pieces of silver to betray Jesus, Mkhwebane may have taken just R70,000 to betray South Africa. And she claims to work for God?

It is easy for her to prove her innocence - make her bank statements, around that time, public and shame them

R70k is nothing really

What about President Ramaphosa and Pravin Gordan have you ever thought of it, that it can be a plan to to discredit them. This is Kama what goes around goes around

Mkhwebane

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

🖕🖕🖕

We need to do something about these ppl in government really bcos of obvious reasons black cannot run the affairs of this country they r clueless and not trained to run the country let alone being stupids even grade r pupils can do better than them

Wen these politicians get caught they it's conspiracy and wat not tjo

I would also do the same & come with conspiracy theories to save nyself..but one thing certain once a liar always a liar..

Oh please. The only adequacy she has shown is on discrediting herself. A truly disgraceful thing PublicProtector

Thats true because here i see a political game

Naaaaaah.... she is doing a great job of doing it herself. Does not need help

I pray for these conspiracy theories to end,but then again, when the ANC says they support the PP, boom the allegations. Ramaphosa postponed to Thursday, on Tuesday we hear this. Connect the dots

Like people don't have better things to do ...

Age old excuses and lies. Always the same story and deny deny deny

You are the main part of the campaign to discredit you.

So the Bank confirms there was a payment from the Guptas to Mkhwebane...

Its very obvious... These guys are idiot really!!!

Why HSBC has interest in investigating the PP? connect the dots, looks like we’ll regret voting for WMC sorry meant voting for Ramaphosa

This allegations can't be left like this, they need to be investigated. We sick and tired of orchestrated campaign theories.

Mkhwebane should stop trying to delude herself and us. We are not stupid. No need for anyone to orchestrate anything. Her ow, actions are clear and pushing her out of the PP's Offi e.

She is correct, are you going to deny the modus operandi she stated in the letter?

Oh shame.. Isn't that what you doing to others?
