Mkhwebane hits back at Maimane over Bosasa donation report
Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane on Monday came out guns blazing, slamming DA leader Mmusi Maimane for giving her an ultimatum to release her report into allegations that President Cyril Ramaphosa misled Parliament over a donation for his ANC presidential campaign. She said undue pressure from Maimane was at odds with the Constitution.
Maimane lodged a complaint with Mkhwebane’s office after Ramaphosa clarified his initial oral response on the R500 000 he received from Bosasa chief executive Gavin Watson as a payment made to his son Andile. The DA is considering legal options should you fail to do so,” read the letter. “I trust that this request will receive the urgent attention it warrants,” he said.
Segalwe also said Mkhwebane was aware that in terms of the Executive Members Ethics Act, she was to have submitted a report on her investigation within 30 days of receipt of Maimane’s complaint. The SACP fired the first salvo over the weekend following its central executive committee, with general secretary Blade Nzimande urging an inquiry into the conduct of Mkhwebane. He, however, was adamant that his party supported the existence of the office.
In the letter, Fick stated that Mkhwebane “has failed in her constitutional duties and powers, and earnest action is required before serious damage is caused to the reputation of the institution, democracy and the Republic”.
