State Capture 2.0, Part Two: Mkhwebane ordered investigator to ‘remove information’ on Ace Magashule and Mosebenzi Zwane in Estina report By News24 and amaBhungane

Crucial information implicating ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule and former minister Mosebenzi Zwane in the Vrede dairy farm scheme was removed from a Public Protector report on instruction from Busisiwe Mkhwebane, according to an explosive affidavit by a whistleblower.

The report was released in February 2018 and made no finding against Magashule, who was Free State premier at the time of the project, or Zwane, who was Free State MEC for agriculture. Mkhwebane dismissed the whistleblower’s allegations as “baseless claims and ramblings of disgruntled current and former employees”.The intention is clear: to influence the mooted parliamentary process to remove me from office. I will respond substantively in due course.”The whistleblower is a senior staff member in the office of the Public Protector who was involved in the Vrede investigation.

In subsequent court judgments, Mkhwebane was slammed by the courts for a lack of honesty in dealing with the case and the report was declared unconstitutional and set aside. News24 and amaBhungane earlier on Sunday reported how a State Security Agency official had provided the recommendation contained verbatim in Mkhwebane’s CIEX report that Parliament amend the Constitution to nationalise the Reserve Bank.A separate source who previously worked with at the Public Protector has also alleged to News24 that Zwane complained to Mkhwebane during a meeting on an unrelated matter over the fact he was issued a Section 7 notice related to the Vrede report.
