UPDATE: LPC to deliberate on Friday whether Mkhwebane should be scrapped from advocates roll | Fin24

This after it received a request from non-profit organisation, Accountability Now, who wrote to the Council following Monday morning's Constitutional Court judgment which found Mkhwebane had acted in bad faith and put forward a"number of falsehoods" in the Absa/Bankorp case.

On Wednesday, however, Accountability Now said the LPC had confirmed that it would be deliberated on on Friday.Advocate Paul Hoffman, director at Accountability Now, told the LPC,"As you know, it is intolerable that an officer of the court should be found to be lying on oath. Our highest court has so found in respect of Ms Mkhwebane. Her response that the judgment of the court creates a bad precedent is contemptuous of the court and does her no credit.

The apex court found she had acted in bad faith and put forward a"number of falsehoods" during the litigation.Mkhwebane is fighting fires on several fronts. The personal costs order against her is likely to amount to hundreds of thousands of rands, according to legal experts. The North Gauteng High Court will also use the ConCourt judgement to decide whether she must pay out of her own pocket for the setting aside of her report on the Estina dairy farm in May.

Fin24 They won't succeed these white racists

Fin24 the question still remain was the findings wrong too or everyone focus on the AdvBMkhwebane and not on the case merits.

Fin24 Will be waiting for Friday.

Fin24 I'm for AdvBMkhwebane but the findings are based on facts n are damning and would be honourable for her to resign but ke she must first finish Jamnandas then she can leave. I can't defend her after such a judgement that she lied under oath it is dangerous

Fin24 She lied under oath as an Advocate, simple remove her 😂 If you catch a police officer excepting a bribe, they get removed. If somebody commits an offense there should always be a punishment... this is her punishment

Fin24 Adv Mkhwebane is not going anywhere there is no stratcomist white monopoly capital puppet that is going to remove her from advocates roll you guys are bloody desperate to remove her pravinrogueunit and ramadreamer400millionCR17 are going to jail soon HandSOffThePublicProtector
