“It’s so unfortunate that the ... president’s lawyers are litigating through the media. It’s a challenge for us as an institution that they shouldn’t be perpetuating this unnecessary ligation through the media,” she said. “The public protector’s reliance on the information contained in the FIC report as evidence is a clear contravention of the condition imposed by the FIC director in terms of section 40 of the act,” Harris said, adding that this amounted to a clear “misuse” of FIC information.

“As a constitutional institution, we are here to support and strengthen constitutional democracy. We are not here to be antagonistic towards government.”
