Suspended Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane has accused the Constitutional Court of abuse after it dismissed her rescission application with costs.
The application relates to the ruling of her impeachment inquiry process, which she argues was unlawful.
The apex court unanimously ruled that Mkhwebane "ought to pay costs in her personal capacity, as this application constitutes an abuse of process of court". Mkhwebane told journalists on Wednesday that the Constitutional Court's latest move was "women's abuse".
"That is the biggest abuse of women. I mean, where would I get that money? Why mustn't I exercise my constitutional right, and what court process am I abusing? I think they are abusing the Constitution as the Constitutional Court. I must say it is very disappointing," said the suspended Public Protector.
