The public protector’s office is teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, all because of the suspended Busi Mkhwebane’s legal costs to defend herself at the section 194 inquiry.

It is estimated that Mkhwebane’s legal fees would exceed R15m. And this impeachment inquiry has caused significant reputational damage to the office of the public protector. The damning evidence that has been revealed at the inquiry has hurt the image of the office.

Mkhwebane’s big mistake was bad company. Her association with the likes of Jacob Zuma landed her in the mess she’s currently facing. Zuma is bad news. A certain judge is currently on suspension because of his association with Msholozi.
