Mkhwebane is an absolute risk to the Ramaphosa era.
However, respecting a rogue Public Protector is a naive political strategy. And in the brute world of real politics, Mkhwebane is an absolute risk to the Ramaphosa era. With the law of averages now on her side – having messed up gloriously a couple of times before – it is only a matter of time before she stumbles across a watertight legal case. That will be good for our democracy, no doubt. But we are not there yet and so far she has consistently demonstrated her incompetence.
Tip-toeing around the Mkhwebane issue is like playing on the tracks when the train can be heard in the distance. This matter should have been handled last term already. Now that the elections are over, and there are no official events on our political calendar in the next couple of months, the backlash will be minimal.
The advocate has demonstrated her incapacity and the political sky will not fall should the obvious remedy be chosen.
But the ruling party is concerned about the deck chairs – who runs what portfolio committee – which is also important. Until the priorities and strategies finally align themselves, Mkhwebane will continue to have her weapons all trained, clumsily. yet with determination, at the New Dawn.
