Die EFF-leier, Julius Malema, sê die wete dat nie 'n enkele persoon wat die party die afgelope 11 jaar verlaat het daarna in die politiek geslaag het nie, laat hom lekker slaap. Die EFF het die afgelope paar maande 'n massa-uittog van hoëprofiellede ondervind toe onder andere Floyd Shivambu, Dali Mpofu, Mzwanele Manyi en Busisiwe Mkhwebane die party verlaat het. Malema het op die Hustlers Corner-potsending gesê hy is nie geskok oor al die mense wat besluit het om die party te verlaat nie.

In a resignation letter that was addressed to party leader, Julius Malema, Mkhwebane explains how she felt that her rights were violated as soon as she became Public Protector of the country.

Die voormalige Openbare Beskermer, Busisiwe Mkhwebane, bedank uit die EFF en die parlement. Nog 'n voorval van voedselvergifting onder kinders.

An organisation being torn apart from the inside – what the conflict between two ANC heavyweights reveals about the party. Then, another fail for former Public Protector, Busisiwe Mkhwebane. Later, the US hurricanes serve as a sobering preview of things to come. And a Minister on a mission – Gayton McKenzie delivers on his promises. But first, now that the City of Tshwane has a new mayor at the helm, two coalition role players are pulling in two very different directions. On the one hand, we have the DA making demands – give us back our mayor, or else. And on the other, the EFF is showing us its mature side and calling for stability.

The Pretoria Magistrate's Court has postponed to 25 April 2025, the perjury case against former Public Protector, Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane.

The Gauteng High Court in Pretoria has dismissed with costs the application by former Public Protector, Busisiwe Mkhwebane to have her former office pay her an estimated gratuity amounting to almost 10 Million rands.  Mkhwebane has been battling to get the money in the courts after her successor Kholeka Gcaleka took a decision that, because she was removed from office for misconduct and incompetence by parliament, she has no right to the money. Lawyers for the office of the Public Protector have argued that the gratuity is not a salary nor a right in terms of her service contract but rather a discretionary payment for work well done. Judge Omphemetse Mooki agrees...

Die parlement sê hy is verstom oor die ongegronde uitsprake van die voormalige openbare beskermer, Busisiwe Mkhwebane. Die Appèlhof het haar appèl van die hand gewys teen 'n uitspraak deur die Wes-Kaapse Hooggeregshof in verband met haar afdankings-ondersoek. Mkhwebane het op sosiale media gesê mense van Indiese afkoms was voortdurend betrokke by haar voortgesette stryd teen haar ontslag. Sy noem spesifiek die ondersoek se getuienisleier, Nazreen Bawa, en die parlement se hoofregsraadgewer, Zuraya Adhikarie. Woordvoerder Moloto Mothapo sê Mkhwebane se aanvalle is verregaande.

Die DA het die beslissing van die Appèlhof verwelkom om die aansoek van die voormalige Openbare Beskermer, Busisiwe Mkhwebane van die rol te skrap.

Glynnis Breytenbach van die DA sê die hof het met reg beslis Mkhwebane se appèl is prosedureel gebrekkig en absoluut ligsinnig:

Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane's status in proceedings before the Supreme Court of Appeal is been debated before the appellate court in Bloemfontein, Free State. Mkhwebane is before the superior court appealing the judgment dismissing the Chairperson of the Section 194 inquiry, Qubudile Dyantyi's refusal to recuse himself from the inquiry that impeached her. However, the former Public Protector no longer occupies the position. Her legal counsel, Advocate Dali Mpofu (SC) has argued that she has brought the appeal in her personal capacity and has invoked Rule 15 of the Uniform Rules of Court.

South Africa's incompetent Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane lasted 1700 days in office because she was protected by the ruling African National Congress (ANC).  Accountability Now director Paul Hoffman SC says she knew she was “royal game flying under the wing of Jacob Zuma and that the ANC dominated” in Parliament.  He speaks to BizNews following her formal sacking by President Cyril Ramaphosa today (Wednesday) – a month before her term was due to end - following her belated impeachment in Parliament. In her reaction, however, Advocate Mkhwebane posted on Twitter: “DA/ANC MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! I wish we could see such ‘concomitant efficiency' to end loadshedding?

Advokaat Dali Mpofu het die Suid-Afrikaanse Openbare Beskermer, Busisiwe Mkhwebane, se skorsing vergelyk met die doodstraf. Mpofu sê Mkhwebane is 'n slagoffer van die mees gruwelike magsmisbruik in die land. Mpofu het aangevoer Mkhwebane se aansoek om die afdwinging van die bevel dat haar skorsing ongeldig is, is onbestrede. Hy sê dit is waarom die DA en President Cyril Ramaphosa aanvoer dat die bevel deur die Konstitusionele Hof bevestig moet word:

Director of Accountability Now Adv Paul Hoffman responds to advocate Dali Mpofu's "threat" and "promise" to chairman Richard Dyantyi. In retaliation to Dyantyi's refusal to postpone this week's hearings until after Friday's application, in which President Cyril Ramaphosa and the Democratic Alliance will contest the Western Cape High Court's decision to lift Busisiwe Mkhwebane's suspension, Hoffman continued by stating that this might be the public protector's strategy regarding the section 194 proceeding against her, to delay proceeding, leading to the process restarting next year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

'n Regskliniek-prokureur van die Universiteit van Johannesburg, Elton Hart, sê daar moet 'n aansoek om verlof tot appèl wees om die bevel van die Hooggeregshof op te skort, en om die saak na die Konstitusionele Hof te neem:

'n Aantal politieke partye het hulle by die DA aangesluit in sy appèl teen die uitspraak van die hooggeregshof in die Wes-Kaap oor die skorsing van die openbare beskermer, Busisiwe Mkhwebane. Die ATM, UDM, IVP en PAC het by die DA en die president aangesluit, terwyl hulle die Konstitusionele Hof nader om te besluit oor die uitspraak wat Mkhwebane se skorsing ter syde gestel het. Mkhwebane se regsverteenwoordiger, Dali Mpofu, het aan die ampsklag-ondersoek gesê die waarnemende openbare beskermer oorweeg ook glo om die hoogste hof te nader.

Vakbonde se dag van protes openbaar teenstrydige standpunte oor hoe om die ekonomie te red. Die geskorste openbare beskermer Busisiwe Mkhwebane word van 'n onbuigsame en onsensitiewe bestuurstyl beskuldig. Strenger beheer oor die R350-toelaag sal voortaan uitgeoefen word.

The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse says it supports the Public Protector's suspension. In a tweet, Busisiwe Mkhwebane encouraged her supporters telling them not to be deflected by the Limpopo farm robbery issue.

It's been frantic week in the political economy with the dirty tricks bag being emptied against a reforming president clamping down on corruption. Shortly after the arrest of former Transnet CEO Siyabonga Gama, disgraced former spy boss Arthur Fraser who was so central to former president Zuma's State Capture network as outlined by journalist Jacques Pouw in President's keepers, played the RET factions hand with curious looking charges of covering up theft against President Cyril Ramaphosa, which he has strongly denied while serious questions remain. Then this week the arrest of two of the Gupta brothers in Dubai. The NPA now has 60 days within which to apply for extradition and for all the unanswered questions seems seriously caught on the back foot here. And last night, the president played his own gambit, suspending public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane with immediate effect. The move came a day before judgment in her case today seeking to block him from doing so. It's a high stakes game that the ANC is playing with the future of the country and delicate balance of the economy which is starting to show some encouraging pockets of green shoots as reform in energy starts to take hold as evidenced by the registration of 16 IPPs under the 100MW self gen exemption this week. And with first quarter GDP growth surprising markedly but subsequent high frequency data in mining, manufacturing and confidence disappointing. Lots to discuss with Warwick Lucas Head of Galileo Securities; Raymond Parsons, professor in the School of Business and Governance at Northwest University & Isaah Mhlanga, Chief Economist at Alex Forbes.
