ConCourt: Personal costs order against Public Protector Mkhwebane worrisome The Constitutional Court on Tuesday morning dismissed her appeal to access personal tax information of former President Jacob Zuma. Public Protector Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane. Picture: @PublicProtector/Twitter CAPE TOWN - A major blow and a small reprieve for the beleaguered Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane. This follows the North Gauteng High Court ruling against her in March, declaring that taxpayer information was confidential. The SA Revenue Service had taken court action to stop Mkhwebane from accessing Zuma’s tax records in 2017. The lower court found against her and ordered that she personally pay costs in that regard but the Constitutional Court gave Mkhwebane a small personal win.
