The Constitutional Court said on Monday that public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane's conduct in the Bankorp-Absa bailout matter fell far short of the high standards required of her office.

They said these orders were required to protect the Constitution because officials who flouted their constitutional obligations must be held to account.

They said there was no merit in the public protector’s contention that the independence of her office and proper performance of her functions demand that she should be exempted from the threat of being ordered to pay personal costs orders. “There can be no fear of danger of a personal-costs award where a public official acts in accordance with the standard of conduct required of them by the law and the constitution.”

PRESIDENT VS PUBLIC PROTECTOR: Ramaphosa: Public Protector’s report is ‘fundamentally and irretrievably flawed’President Cyril Ramaphosa took a stand on Sunday by facing the media and announcing he would take Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s findings against him on urgent judicial review. Ramaphosa emphasised his respect for Mkhwebane’s office — but called her report ‘fundamentally and irretrievably flawed’. szavanna gregnicolson My English is not so good. What does irretrievably mean? What is retrievable with any report? Does it mean that it cannot be undone?
