Pick a proper protector

For once, everyone seems to agree. A slew of court rulings against the public protector has demonstrated, in humiliatingly scathing judicial assessments, her unfitness for office.

Tolmay writes that Mkhwebane’s failures and omissions in the investigation were inexplicable unless they were done with “some ulterior purpose”. There was either “a blatant disregard” of her constitutional duties or a “lack of understanding” of them. This failure to understand the law and the Constitution pointed either to “ineptitude or gross negligence”.

In the SA Reserve Bank matter, she eventually had to concede she was unaware she did not have the power to order parliament to amend the Constitution. In the other, regarding Absa, the court found she did not comprehend that she had an obligation to be “objective, honest and to deal with matters according to the law”.

EDITORIAL: Please eject public protector Busisiwe MkhwebaneThe public protector has turned an office that was a beacon of light during Thuli Madonsela’s tenure into a national embarrassment I'm really not sure who's cause she's serving any more. She's now useless to the Zupta Cartel who made sure she was recruited, neither Cyril nor any opposition party supports her, and I'm pretty sure her staff are embarrassed to be seen with her. Fire the cow. For what and in whose favour? Time of pandering to the whims of the haves and privileged is gone. Let the PP complete her term and have her replaced then. Until then, she must stay put and do her work unhindered, however unpalatable and disconcerting her investigations. Uyempenga.

OPINIONISTA: Fitness of the Public Protector to hold office is in serious questionThe Vrede Dairy project report and the Absa lifeboat case are equally serious blots on the copybook of the Public Protector. It has to raise immediate questions about the ability of the present Office of the Public Protector to contribute meaningfully in the fight to curb the scourge of corruption that has taken place, particularly over the past decade.
