Judge Nana Makhubele is accused of abetting state capture while she was chair of PRASA.
At the beginning of the inquiry, Makhubele was represented by Vincent Maleka, an advocate instructed by Mabuza Attorneys. But both Maleka and Mabuza Attorneys withdrew following a protracted battle with the State Attorney over payment, which resulted in several delays.
The DA MP made disparaging comments about Gcaleka during a Parliamentary debate about her appointment as Public Protector, alleging she rose through the ranks of the NPA by having a ‘close’ relationship with its former head.
Public protector advocate Kholeka Gcaleka says remarks made by DA MP Glynnis Breytenbach which insinuated she slept her way to the top were “unfortunate”.
Public Protector Gcaleka highlights the urgent need for improved whistle-blower protection, citing the limitations of existing legislation.
