In an affidavit, President Ramaphosa agreed with the public protector that he has a conflict of interest as far as she is concerned, but he said that his power to suspend her can simply be delegated to another, unconflicted, member of Cabinet.

between Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane and Parliament over its impeachment rules.

Alternatively, she has asked that people — the president and MPs — who have a conflict of interest be interdicted from participating in any impeachment process. This is where the president comes in, because the Constitution provides that the public protector may be suspended by the president once an impeachment committee begins a removal process.

The conflict was not because Mkhwebane had made adverse findings against him in the report. The Constitution envisages contestation between different organs of state, said Ramaphosa, and there are mechanisms for resolving them. It could never be that a finding by the public protector would forever banish a president from suspending her.However, for now there is a conflict, agreed Ramaphosa.

Lol the very same ramaphosa who appealed the north high court decision that if the president is conflicted he must allow the deputy president to carry some of the functions on a matter at hand lol these judgement which were meant for zuma will destroy these people 😂😂

They must come. SC Sikhakhane...

And that member of the cabinet owes his income to CyrilRamaphosa so they will do whatever to protect their source of income.

Mkhwebane when courts use strong language against her,she cries a bucketful.but she has a gall to call others names.disgusting human being she is.

Neutral how?because from the start its him,anc and D A on removing the public protector,because first he accused her of obtaining information illegally then DA realised that is funders also are going to be exposed after ramaphosas saga then they acted fast to plañ on removing her

Delegated to another member of HIS cabinet, someone he employed?

Only neutral in public, behind closed doors working hard to have her removed.
