LIVE | Mkhwebane insists she is being 'targeted, victimised' for 'doing her work' in CR17 investigation
The clips that are played appear to have been cut in strange places. They also do not appear to support Mkhwebane's claims that her reports have been treated inconsistently by the courts.- Karyn MaughanMkhwebane uses the metaphor for Ramaphosa's campaign that it is as if she were to invite people for her grandson's birthday party and they bring him gifts. He then can't say he knew nothing about it.
Mpofu again seeks to rely on the Mogoeng minority ruling in the ConCourt's CR17 ruling, which has no legal effect. He says Mogoeng found that Ramaphosa was a liar.COMMENT: Proceedings this morning have the feel of an absurdist play, with Mpofu and Mkhwebane refusing to see the difference between a referral and an instruction to investigate, and the weird echoing voices for dramatic effect.
Mpofu was himself pitted against Zuma in the State Capture litigation and knows that Madonsela's remedial action was informed by Zuma's conflict and in no way amounted to an unlawful order to another independent institution, or a breach of the principle of separation of powers.Mpofu made similar statements in court last week when he was arguing against Karyn Maughan and Billy Downer's applications to have former president Jacob Zuma's private prosecution against them set aside.
But there are no examples of her ordering the NPA to investigate prima facie evidence and report back to her.The Public Protector Act states"if [the Public Protector] is of the opinion that the facts disclose the commission of an offence by any person, to bring the matter to the notice of the relevant authority charged with prosecutions".
