The inquiry, which has not sat for more than a month due to lack of legal funding for the public protector, was scheduled to resume with Mkhwebane continuing with her oral evidence.
She wants the court, which previously found that she was entitled to legal representation in the inquiry, to order parliament, President Cyril Ramaphosa, inquiry chairperson Richard Dyantyi and alternatively the state to provide resources for her legal representation.The public protector’s office revealed last week that it had made an additional R4m available for Mkhwebane’s legal funding in the inquiry.
Mkhwebane said both Dyantyi and Gcaleka had during media interviews last month made it “loud and clear” that no money would be made available for her legal representation. She also took issue with the R4m limit, indicating that it would be difficult to find a legal team that would agree to represent her with that amount or to complete the work within a month.
