Public Protector disappointed by Gordhan's 'personal insults'

Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane says she is disappointed at the “personal insults” by public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan in court documents challenging her report into the Sars’s so-called “rogue unit”.

“It is our considered opinion that the emotive language and personal insults and blatant lies or innuendos are meant to divert attention from the real issues and the findings,” Mkhwebane said in a statement on Thursday. Her spokesperson Oupa Segalwe added: “Mkhwebane wishes to record her disappointment at how the court application is cloaked in the indignity of personal insults. She will only be commenting on the facts of the matter as engaging in the personal insults is below the dignity of the high offices of responsibility which she and the minister occupy.”

This comes after Gordhan lodged an urgent court application on Wednesday to stop the enforcement of Mkhwebane’s remedial orders and to review her report issued on Friday. Mkhwebane found in the report that Gordhan had approved setting up a “rogue unit” which violated the Constitution.

The court will decide so please shut up.

You are useless. Add this one too .

Facts, not insults. She does not even know the difference.

What findings? Any important one has been thrown out.

But PG didn’t have to bring outrage on the PP, he simply lodge a review. The review rules in his favor and we move on. It doesn’t have to be ugly

she shouldn't be because she is captured and not fit for the PP position . Will never forget your first statement saying Zuma was not your first priority while people of South Africa wanted justice to be done and already Thuli stated the beautiful work. You must step down .

Tsek

'our' considered opinion.... hers and who else's ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

OPINIONISTA: Has the time come for the politically weaponised Public Protector to be removed from office?If one were to be charitable, one could say that that the Public Protector does not have a full grasp of the law or the powers of her office. Alternatively, one might say that Busisiwe Mkhwebane has become a political player herself. judith_february The time was the day after she was appointed by the Zupta Cartel. judith_february In the broader scheme of things, it's a justifiable view to have especially after the blunderous tenure of the public protector. However, a fair approach in giving the public perspective is a granular interrogation of the accusations rather than contextualizing the case. judith_february Yes. Right now.
