Suspended public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane: 'I am also not perfect. Do I have to receive such harsh treatment, such humiliation, I don’t know.' File imagePublic protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane says it is unfair that she is facing possible impeachment for mistakes she might have made in her job while judges who get it wrong have an opportunity for their mistakes to be fixed by appeal courts.
Most of the complaints of misconduct and incompetence against Mkhwebane, contained in a motion for her removal by DA MP Natasha Mazzone, were supported by number of court judgments setting aside some of her reports.Mkhwebane spent Thursday addressing the committee on the report on the establishment and existence of the so-called “rogue unit” at Sars and quoted extensively from her own report, showing the route she took to come to her conclusions.
said Mkhwebane showed bias as she did not have jurisdiction to probe events at Sars dating back to 2009.her decision to conduct the investigation was unlawful because there were no special circumstances present.“The review should succeed in its entirety on this ground alone. However, if we are wrong in this regard and the public protector had the necessary jurisdiction to investigate the complaints, we will nonetheless consider the review,” the full bench said.
