PARLIAMENTARY NOTEBOOK: EFF adulation of Public Protector radiates through Parliament as Gordhan files court challenge

Maybe it was the solidarity of red. Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane was draped in a deep red top with the odd fluffy tassel, while the EFF MPs sat opposite in their red overalls.

Mkhwebane took it in her stride, saying she had sent her report on Gordhan to SAPS National Commissioner General Khehla Sitole and National Director of Public Prosecutions Shamila Batohi for the investigation of criminal charges. The aim is to review and set aside that report as unlawful, unconstitutional and irrational – while also asking the court to make a personal cost order against Mkhwebane.

Coincidentally, this outstanding court action was among the key reasons Parliament’s justice committee, ahead of the May 2019 elections,In his affidavit on Wednesday, Gordhan said the interdict against this Public Protector report would be in the interests of justice because “of the Public Protector in investigating and issuing the report…” and that he’s being singled out given the Protector confirmed three ongoing investigations against him.

And the EFF pushed further, with its sights on another former politician it has decided to take exception to.We also express concern on the complicity of the then-Minister of Finance, Trevor Manuel, under whom the unit was established. Manuel must be held accountable, as it is improbable that he did not know of the existence of such a unit.”
