The Western Cape High Court is hearing an urgent application to halt a parliamentary inquiry into her fitness to hold office
Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane has lashed out at the Democratic Alliance (DA) and National Assembly Speaker – Thandi Modise, as she tries to stop an inquiry into her competence.
The Western Cape High Court is hearing an urgent application to halt a parliamentary inquiry into her fitness to hold office.
This comes after a DA motion calling for the inquiry was backed by Modise.
Dali Mpfou, a representative of Mkhwebane, has not only slammed the DA, but accused the party of having a “vendetta” against his client.
He’s also slammed Modise, claiming that she doesn’t want parliamentary rules to be challenged.
“We have said that the Speaker and the attitude doesn’t leave a lot to be desired.”
But Judge Vincent Saldanha questioned Mkhwebane’s claims of a vendetta.
“You’ve spent a lot of time on this vendetta by the DA, which quite frankly is irrelevant.”
Mkhwebane is under fire after a number of high-profile court judgments against her, but she has repeatedly denied that she is incompetent.
