But when the inquiry sat on Monday, Mkhwebane requested a postponement until the public protector’s office has appointed new lawyers to represent her or to reappoint her previous legal representatives if they are able and willing to continue representing her.
In a letter dated May 4 to Dyantyi, Mkhwebane said since the end of March she has had no legal representation and the public protector’s office would need to properly appoint attorneys to represent her. “Out of the blue and on three days’ notice, you now inform me, without any prior engagement or sufficient details, that ‘the funding issue has been resolved’ and demand my response within 24 hours.
Mkhwebane also protested against the time limit attached to the resumption of the inquiry and described it as “unrealistic and absurd”. Dyantyi estimated that there were 22 days of work left by the committee.
