In a column, the EFF deputy president say current attacks on the public protector are a repetition of similar ones on her predecessor, Thuli Madonsela.
Economic Freedom Fighters deputy president Floyd Shivambu has written a column in Sunday’s edition ofsuggesting that the office of the public protector is “under siege” and calling on “all citizens” to join the party’s campaign to protect it.
“Madonsela was attacked and undermined by members of cabinet, MPs and journalist to protect a president who was a constitutional delinquent,” he writes. Shivambu quotes Karl Marx, who said “history repeats itself, first as a tragedy and the second time as a farce”, and says that the current situation is indeed such a farce.Shivambu may be making parallels between the way Madonsela was treated and Mkhwebane’s treatment currently, but this past week he appeared to side with the current public protector when a disagreement between her and her predecessor took place.
