AN AGGRIEVED deputy public protector Mamiki Shai, whose term expires on Friday, yesterday accused her boss, Thuli Madonsela, of bullying and calling her names.
Thuli is the best person yet appointed to this job Report Abuse

But Thuli calls everyone names - look at her characterization of that doofus Tina yesterday. Anyway Shai is angling for a bigger christmas turkey. Living in the shadow of a giant like Thuli has made her irrelevant - I did not know her name until this minute - she is bitter.
I don't think this is a red herring plot to get rid of Thuli - I think politicians have realised she is beyond reprroach. I think Shai is making these wild allegations out of spite. When that yes man Mushwana left, she was expecting the job but was edged out by Thuli. Report Abuse

Shai, one only hopes what your backers are paying you is more than enough for this amateurish attempt at smearing Madonsela.
Just look at Shai's face. All I see is vindictiveness and bitterness - no empathy and intellect whatsoever. Bloody malcontent. That scarf around her neck needs to be tightened somewhat. Report Abuse

I think Shai-Shai is now acting out of malice and, like many who have had sour grapes, is trying with all her might to "blemish" Thuli's name. It goes without saying that, by all standards, she could not match Thuli's calibre and competency to do the work. Let's face it, Thuli is the best Public Protector SA has ever had, even when taking into account her predecessors. She's simply the best and SA should really be very proud to have her. Report Abuse

Thuli Madonsela does not strike me as someone who would barge into offices and call people ugly names in front of juniour staff... She come across as someone who regards her reputation as very important... Remember her recent rebuttal of Mamiki's allegations, the accident that her son caused, etc She is very much aware of the damage to rep that such could cause and knows that there are people out to get her.
Besides, can you imagine Thuli Madonsela, with her calm and measured voice calling Mamiki names...? Report Abuse

Shai is acting under instruction from the ANC to try to discredit Madonsela because she is a thorn in the ANC's side. Sadly however, as the ANC is yet to learn that in the modern world lies and deception are not as easily hidden, as in the days when Zulu kings could make the rules as they saw fit and just murder anybody who opposed them or stood in their way.

But how the h.ell do you take office politics to Parliament? This is an issue of clashing personalities and maybe some bitter history between two, so they are always on each other's necks.

Right now, it is very hard to believe anything she's saying because it seems to come from a point of bitterness. Report Abuse
