The Chapter 9 Institution indicated it was liable to pay Mkhwebane’s legal fees, which was reached the cost of R12 million.On Monday, Section 194 Committee chairperson, Qubudile Dyantyi said it was important that the inquiry proceed with its work.
Al-Jamah MP Ganief Hendricks proposed that the committee reach a settlement with Mkhwebane “so we can bring this proceedings to an end”. “At the same time, we have seen how plans were made to avail funds to the Zondo Commission so the inquiry could reach its conclusion.”But Dyantyi dismissed Hendricks’ suggestion, saying the settlement matter was “outside the jurisdiction and mandate of this committee”.
“You cannot behave like this as evidence leaders. This is an unfair process because she is now addressing the evidence I have presented without my legal team,” Mkhwebane said.While Dyantyi attempted to respond, Mkhwebane interjected prompting the chairperson to ask for the public protector to be muted.
