Speaker of Parliament Thandi Modise’s announcement that the panel looking into Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s fitness to hold office “has concluded its work”, has set the stage for the country’s first impeachment process for a sitting Public Protector.
“This year [2021] marks the real turning point in her controversial tenure as one of the country’s top corruption busters,” reported
Eyewitness News (EWN). The country waited anxiously over the weekend until Monday, 1 March to know the contents of the report by the panel appointed by Modise and headed by former Constitutional Court judge Bess Nkabinde and advocates Dumisa Ntsebeza and Johan de Waal. It had been speculated whether the panel’s finding would be the beginning of the end for Mkhwebane, or solidify her as the “unfairly targeted” Public Protector.
