NATIONAL NEWS - Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane is set to face parliamentary impeachment proceedings.
This was revealed by DA chief whip Natasha Mazzone on Monday, in a statement welcoming the finding by the independent review panel that there is a prima facie case for Parliament to institute removal proceedings against Mkhwebane.
“We are pleased by these findings and urge Parliament to institute the removal proceedings against Mkhwebane without delay,” Mazzone said.
Last week, Parliament revealed that the panel submitted its report to National Assembly Speaker Thandi Modise.
The panel, which comprised of retired Constitutional Court judge Bess Nkabinde, advocate Dumisa Ntsebeza and advocate Johan de Waal, was appointed after the DA tabled a motion in February 2020 for the removal of the public protector.
