The presidency says it appears as though Mkhwebane ignored the president’s submissions in coming to her decision

President Cyril Ramaphosa will study public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s report, which made adverse findings against him over a campaign donation from Bosasa, and decide what to do next, the presidency says.

Days later, Ramaphosa wrote to then speaker Baleka Mbete and admitted he was wrong, and that the money was actually a donation to his election campaign. The presidency confirmed receiving Mkhwebane’s final report but noted that it is unfortunate that “from a cursory reading of the report”, it seems that the president’s response had not been given due consideration. “Nonetheless, the president will study the public protector’s report and make a decision on any further action.”to Mkhwebane’s findings that he was implicated in her probe after he was granted two extensions to submit his response.

The SACP wants the ANC, which is its alliance partner, to expedite the process of looking into her fitness to hold office in parliament, while the DA has already asked for proceedings to be started to attempt to have her removed.
