Tshiwalule said he investigated the complaint regarding the apartheid-era bailout of Absa and its predecessor Bankorp with Madonsela. But a report that came back to him, from Mkhwebane, that no longer contained the findings against the three senior politicians. While Tshiwalule told the inquiry that the changes were seen after the report came back from Mkhwebane, he did not think the public protector wanted to deliberately protect the politicians. He said he never asked about the removed findings and did not want “to make any conclusive statement about that”.
Tshiwalule said they had “an issue” with the government using state resources and appointing CIEX’s Michael Oatley to conduct an investigation on behalf of government and then ignoring the findings of that investigation.
