The allegations include that Mkhwebane acted with bias in the pursuit of a political objective, abused state resources for her own ends, and acted unethically.
Axed public protector COO Basani Baloyi and Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane faced off in the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria on Wednesday over Baloyi’s axing amid allegations Mkhwebane had acted unconstitutionally.
Advocate Daily Mpofu, on behalf of Mkhwebane, argued Baloyi’s work was not up to scratch which resulted in her dismissal. Her lawyer, Tembeka Ngcukaitobi, argued she had been dismissed as a result of resisting Mahlangu’s interference in the Prasa investigation, which Mpofu said was never pleaded in her papers.
Ngcukaitobi said the allegations were triggered by the dispute, however, and maintained Mkhwebane had an ulterior motive in axing Baloyi.
