The Parliamentary hearing into the suitability of suspended Public Protector Busiswe Mkhwebane to hold office resumed on Monday.

Suspended Public Protector Busiswe Mkhwebane.

Advocate Dali Mpofu appearing on behalf of Mkhwebane, started by asking her about the role of the Public Protector, also known as Ombudsman in other countries. Zulu-Sokoni explained, “There are a lot of underlying problems in order for the ombudsman to be able to operate independently. If you look at all the principles… the very office that created it, the very office that funds it and the very office which is supposed to pay the salaries of the members of staff and the ombudsman himself.

Madonsela, Malunga question being summoned to Mkhwebane impeachment inquiry | City PressMadonsela and her erstwhile deputy Malunga believe that being summoned to the parliamentary inquiry into Mkhwebane’s fitness to hold office cannot be fully justified, as they have no way of explaining the mess that the chapter 9 institution is in. Obviously the truth will hurt. Is there a bigger waste of time than to be summoned to listen to a rambling Dali Mpofu monologue with a few lousy insults? A simple issue of Mkhwebane taking the stand and state her achievements in that office and answer to the allegations against her. Madonsela is no longer a Public Protector. She made decisions in that office and nothing is gonna change them.
