Free State head of the Public Protector office Sphelo Samuel claims he was suspended on Wednesday afternoon for asking his boss Busisiwe Mkhwebane to resign.

Samuel said he had interpreted the blockage of his email account as constructive dismissal.
“Kindly furnish me with the reasons that led to this instruction being issued to the ICT department within an hour from now .
