Former public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane took to the social media claiming her ongoing struggle has consistently involved key figures, predominantly of Indian descent, who positioned themselves as her persecutors.Parliament has hit back at former public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane for her outbursts about parliamentary staff and legal advisers.
In her post, Mkhwebane named late former public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan and Section 194 inquiry evidence leader Nazreen Bawa. Mkhwebane had also named Supreme Court of Appeal judge Visvanathan Ponnan, along with witnesses to her impeachment inquiry. “The unwarranted attack on these officials, along with the racial slurs used by advocate Mkhwebane, is particularly regrettable in a democratic society such as ours, where human dignity should be protected and respected.
“Parliament reaffirms its commitment to building a non-racial, non-sexist, and democratic South Africa.” Parks said Mkhwebane may not be familiar with the history of South Africa’s liberation struggle, including the fundamental task of building a non-racial society.
