Mkhwebane was officially removed from office after a majority of MPs in the National Assembly voted in support of her impeachment.
Committee is consistent with the judgments of various courts, including the Constitutional Court.
“The highest court in the land made scathing and damning findings including the public protector’s flawed model of investigation. She was not honest about her engagement during investigations. “The public protector had acted in bad faith; did not fully understand her constitutional duty to be impartial and perform her functions without fear, favour or prejudice; had failed to produce a complete record of the proceeding…” she said.“As the nation closes the Mkhwebane chapter, we hope that the new public protector will take the sad and ugly lessons of the Mkhwebane era into account and strive to build a solid and accountable office that is above factional loyalties.
“Never again must a head of a Chapter 9 institution act like a law unto himself/herself. We hope her successor will have the humility and maturity to respect the decorum and dignity of the office and refrain from bringing it into disrepute,” said Bhengu-Motsiri.
