'Justice in SA has eyes' and that's why perjury case may be prioritised: Mkhwebane
TSHWANE - Suspended Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane said justice in South Africa was selective, and that may result in her perjury matter being fast-tracked in the Pretoria High Court.
Mkhwebane faces perjury charges after the Constitutional Court found that she lied and made misrepresentations during her 2017 investigation of the Reserve Bank apartheid-era bailout of Bankorp. She made a brief appearance in the Pretoria Magistrates Court on Friday on the matter of the charges. She is challenging the state's decision not to withdraw the charges against her in the High Court, and wants the Magistrate's Court to strike her matter off the roll, pending her High Court review application.Mkhwebane said that keeping her perjury matter on the court roll was a waste of time and resources, as there was a matter in the High Court that could influence the Magistrate's Court case.
