Busisiwe Mkhwebane back in the Western Cape High court

Public Protector and Advocate Busiswe Mkhwebane will have her case resumed on Thursday. The Western Cape High Court will welcome Mkhwebanee as well as the National Assembly Speaker and the Section 194 Committee where the case between the parties will continue to be heard.

Mkhwebane continues to challenge the impeachment proceedings

In an attempt to stop the  Parliamentary impeachment proceedings aimed against her Mkhwebane hastily submitted the appropriate documentation. The Public Protector objects to the  Constitutional Court’s ruling which gives the National Assembly the green light to proceed with the impeachment proceedings and is actively challenging the decision.

In spite of Mkhwebane’s continued efforts to stop the impeachment processes, her actions have not been overly successful. Although she requested that the Constitutional Court reconsider its decision a decision was made by Parliament to proceed with the impeachment process.

Public Protector actively challenges suspension attempts with legal counsel

Along with Mkhwebane’s objection to the impeachment process, the Public Protector has also challenged the issue of whether or not she should be suspended. Her defence against such a ruling was argued on behalf of her by her legal counsel  Dali Mpofu on Wednesday.

The actions and attempts by the Public Protector follow a rescission application submitted by her to the Constitutional Court. The document requested that the ruling which was given on February 4, 2022, be retracted or declared unconstitutional, reports SABC News.

PP has her work, I have my work – Ramaphosa

President Cyril Ramaphosa has cryptically shown where he stands with the investigations into him. Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane launched two new investigations into Ramaphosa, who doesn’t seem too fazed by it. On Sunday, 3 April, Ramaphosa shared that the embattled PP has her work and he has his own.

“The Public Protector has to do her work and I will do my work. Each one of us have our tasks and jobs to do and we must do our work as best as possible as we can,”

said President Ramaphosa.

The President was delivering the closing address at his party’s elective conference in Mpumalanga. Mkhwebane, on the other hand, has been trying to interdict Parliament. She is attempting to stop proceedings for impeachment against her. Read the full story here.
