The Pretoria High Court directed Mkhwebane’s application, where she’s attempting to be paid an estimated R10 million gratuity for her stint as Public Protector, be handled as a special motion.
Busisiwe Mkhwebane hasn’t commented on the Public Protector SA’s decision not to pay out her R10m gratuity, but she’s likely to fight it.
Earlier on Tuesday, Eyewitness News broke the news that the Office of Public Protector found that Mkhwebane is not entitled to any form of gratuity after being removed from office last year.
The Public Protector’s office has confirmed to Eyewitness News that Mkhwebane has sent it a letter of demand for the around R10 million she believes is due to her.
