Shabalala said the reasons for the extension requested by the minister were not good enough as he had first cited"extreme diary pressure in light of the upcoming elections". He argued that the minister's second reason cited - the many public holidays in April - was a complete joke.
"It’s a joke. There is complete disregard. He is chilling, this guy … the honourable minister," Shabalala said. When asked by judge Sardiwalla why Mkhwebane could not give Nkwinti the extension to respond to the case, Shabalala said it would set a bad precedent. "The minister is playing delaying tactics," he said, further arguing that in the Nkandla judgment chief justice Mogoeng Mogoeng said the office of the public protector could not bow down to anyone in high office. SowetanLIVE reported on Sunday that Mkhwebane had made damning findings against Nkwinti, establishing that he had violated the executive ethics code and the constitution.
In a report yet to be officially released by her office, Mkhwebane found that Nkwinti - now water and sanitation minister - had abused his position of authority when he was the minister of land and rural development when he had influenced his department to buy a farm and allocate it to his friend.
You are the reason why we are not voting for the ANC. It took your president no time to remove Nomcebo Jiba, let's see how long it will take him to remove you. You used tax payers' money to buy a farm for your friends. You greedy fucken bustard.
