Severe damage done to a key office
It has been another bruising week forpublic protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane, whose competence and suitability for her job was questionable even before the latest setback.
In a healthy democracy one would have expected someone in her position, who had been found by the country's highest court to have been deliberately dishonest, would have done the honourable thing and resigned. But we are not there yet and in our highly polarised public discourse, she still has supporters.
The high court in Pretoria also found when it reviewed and set aside her report into the Bankorp matter that Mkhwebane did not understand her job and acted in bad faith. Mkhwebane also faces three other reviews of her reports. Two by public enterprise minister Pravin Gordhan relating to the SA Revenue Service’s so-called rogue unit saga and the early pension payout to former commissioner Ivan Pillay, and one by President Cyril Ramaphosa relating to the Bosasa donation he received for his ANC presidency campaign.
