He says she ‘honestly’ needs Jacob Zuma’s tax information to combat corruption and protect the public
Public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s advocate has slammed any suggestion that she didn’t need to persist with her subpoena for former president Jacob Zuma’s tax information, because she could access that information from Zuma himself.
Mpofu hit back on Friday afternoon, stating that Zuma’s affidavit contained no confirmation that he had the information Mkhwebane was seeking and that the information was “in my cupboard or in my drawer”. [Jeremy] Gauntlett argued that Mkhwebane appeared to believe that ‘in the pantheon of Chapter 9 institutions, she is the top one’
Mkhwebane is currently facing the prospect of an inquiry into her fitness to hold office and cannot afford any potentially adverse court ruling against her — after a string of scathing judgments raised serious questions about her integrity, impartiality and grasp of the law. Kieswetter maintains that he was forced to turn to the courts for help after Mkhwebane threatened him with criminal charges, should he not provide her with Zuma’s tax records.
Mkhwebane also demanded statements from Sars about the allegations — contained in Pauw’s book — that Zuma received monthly payments of R1m from the politically connected Royal Security company.
