He has no such powers.

She needs to be found guilty of misconduct, incapacity or incompetence by a portfolio committee, followed by the adoption of a resolution by two-thirds of the National Assembly to remove her.
Well that is a step below an act of god. Hopefully Cyril can get the committee going, the courts already ruled that she doesn't know what she is doing, but he won't.

Relatively neutral opinion article, protect the office of the PP while objectively examining the quality of work done by the incumbent: https://www.news24.com/Columnists/Ralph_Mathekga/are-we-judging-mkhwebane-fairly-20190604
It is therefore important that Parliament hold an inquiry into Mkhwebane's position as the Public Protector. The aim of this inquiry should not be to remove her from office, but to establish if her record (of reports being overturned) is caused by genuine mistake, genuine incompetence or the pursuit of a sinister political agenda.

The inquiry should be on how Mkhwebane's quality of work relates to the mandate of the office. If the accusations are that her reports are full of conspiracies and untested reasoning, this does not justify a decision to remove her by advancing similar conspiracy reasoning. It is important to objectively establish the reasons for her sloppiness.

Read the thread, and don't ask silly questions.
Parliament must remove her, CR has no legal authority to instruct parliament. He too is accountable to parliament, not the other way round

Parliamentary committee, so not all of Parliament. Who is responsible to get that going?

I'm sure if seen the president start these committees before?

Care to educate me on how it works? There's hundreds of committees, I don't know the difference.
I am afraid it would sound silly.:ROFL:
The last thing I want is to look silly on the internet.
