JOHANNESBURG - Suspended Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane has taken a swipe at judges, accusing them of “sensationalising”.Mkhwebane also took exception to judgments that set aside her reports, saying things often get “blown out of proportion” since she became Public Protector.
She also continued her evidence in relation to the Gauteng High Court’s judgment setting aside the so-called Sars rogue unit report implicating Minister Pravin Gordhan. The court said Mkhwebane owed Judge Sulet Potterill an apology for “personal attacks” when she disagreed with the judge's interpretation of the Executive Ethics Code.“And it’s so unfortunate that a lot of lawyers and possibly judges they read because they should be reporting about cases and whatever. Is it necessary for them then to as well sensationalise?”“I could pick up that whatever I do is just actually blown out of proportion.
Mkhwebane defended her rogue-unit report, saying Sars had refused to provide documentation about the purchasing of equipment, which led her to infer that it was illegally acquired.
