Public Protector Kholeka Gcaleka told Parliament's justice committee she thought it was inappropriate for Mkhwebane who’s now an Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) member of Parliament (MP) to grill her staff.
CAPE TOWN - The conflict of having an impeached Public Protector interrogating her successor came home to roost in Parliament on Thursday, as the pair bumped heads over the running of that office.
Gcaleka went as far as to accuse Mkhwebane’s husband, also an MP, of threatening the security of the chief executive officer of the office., a year after she was impeached by Parliament. On Thursday, Mkhwebane sent a barrage of questions the way of her successor, many of which related to her time in office.“This committee has a member who’s conflicted when it comes to the issues of the Public Protector, because she’s the impeached Public Protector and some of the matters she alluded to are matters that were ventilated in the Section 194 committee to which staff of the Public Protector had testified.
