Mkhwebane: 'It's like you are subjecting me to stay in an abusive relationship with you'
Suspended Public Protector Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane likened her presence at the Parliament’s impeachment inquiry into her fitness to that of a woman being forced to stay in an abusive relationship.
“The legal practitioners merely implemented, in the most appropriate manner available in their opinion and the circumstances, the mandate which they had at the stage, which was only to deal with the postponement application without giving any recognition to the committee, as presently constituted until otherwise advised.”
However, Mkhwebane also told the committee that her legal team was unable to attend the meeting on Tuesday.Unfortunately, the counsel is not available to attend the committee sitting today, this week, actually. Mkhwebane took exception to Mileham’s statement that she was “disingenuous” especially, she said, because it came from someone who was part of the application for recusal which was refused.Mr Mileham, you are even saying ‘you are disingenuous’, and [you are] the very same person who I am not comfortable sitting here and being subjected to you and the chairperson. I mean, today, the president is dealing with the issue of GBV [gender-based violence].
