Parliament to discuss Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s future in September

Parliament’s portfolio committee on justice will look into the fitness of public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane to hold office in September, after the parliamentary recess.

There have been a number of adverse findings against the public protector, whose competence has increasingly come under scrutiny. The most damning was the Constitutional Court finding that she had acted in bad faith and lied during the course of litigation around the Reserve Bank’s apartheid-era bailout of Bankorp.On Wednesday, justice portfolio chair Bulenani Magwanishe said the committee will start dealing with the matter of the public protector on September 3.

The constitution clearly sets out how the public protector is appointed but says very little about the process of how to remove the head of the Chapter 9 institution. According to the constitution there are three grounds to remove a public protector: misconduct, incapacity or incompetence; a finding to that effect by a committee of the National Assembly; and the adoption by the National Assembly of a resolution calling for that person’s removal from office.
