The committee will not subpoena Ramaphosa after it was asked to do so by Mkhwebane’s legal team

As a result, the committee will not subpoena Ramaphosa after it was asked to do so by Mkhwebane’s legal team.

“While we note that the request by the PP [Public Protector] to the committee is apparently narrower than the request to the president, we note nonetheless that the president should not be called to answer questions related to the suspension of the PP and the current litigation processes before the courts. This committee is neither empowered nor seized with any inquiry into the suspension of the PP, which, in terms of section 194 of the Constitution, is a prerogative of the president.

Again, MPs said if there were outstanding questions, they needed to be addressed in writing as the committee was racing against time and could not spend more time on the same witnesses. They also raised that Van Loggerenberg’s testimony took three days and that both witnesses had been asked the same questions “over and over again”.Dyanyti ruled that witnesses would not be recalled “for the sake of it”, and that they could only be recalled for specific issues.

“If there is cross-examination that was not concluded, and we know that there was because her legal team objected when we closed that cross-examination down, I think she should be allowed to conclude the cross-examination of those two witnesses to meet what I think is a quite high threshold of procedural fairness that is thrust upon us by Section 194 of the Constitution, which protects the Public Protector from arbitrary removal,” he said.

She cited examples where the head of the Public Protector’s office in the Free State, Sphelo Samuel, had been called a “public attacker” and was asked if he knew how to count to 10 during cross-examination by Mpofu. She said such things played a huge role in future witnesses coming before the committee.
