Public protector claims only God can remove her from office

[Goosfrabba]

Job 1:21:

"...The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away..."

Since she's relying on God on this one

Jail. Send this corrupt stooge to jail. Forever. It sickens me to the core to read how these people abuse power and rob the state coffers, our money, for their own personal benefit.

 

[nightjar]

I just knew this evil dictator will remove people will-nilly without any regard for the law. Anything to divert attention from his mattress millions. Gupta arrests, suspend PP. What next I wonder. I bet he is gonna cancel e-tolls now.

RE his mattress millions...
There has never been any hint that they were not his own cash, unlike all the stolen millions in dirty money swirling around the members of the ANC National Executive Committee.
It's possible the the cash should have been declared but, on the ANC scale of criminal behaviour, the non declaration is trivial.

Sound like Titanic's famous last words.

Dali's actually doing us a favour and burying her deeper. We should be cheering for him...

The only problem is he takes forever to get to anything, and waffles to much.

If God is the only one who can remove her from office, it's time to let her follow Jessie Duarte.

It's not a big deal but Dali is going to make a meal out of it, annoying that the MP do not have foresight of these things.

DA MP Mileham's participation in Parly's Mkhwebane inquiry questioned

It's immerged that Mileham - one of the committee members - is also the husband of DA Chief Whip member Natasha Mazzone a complainant in the matter.

To be fair, most of the MPs hold some kind of bias for or against Mkhwebane and should therefore also not be party to the inquiry, but would be allowed to vote in some predetermined manner.

I suspect this is the only time the ANC won't instruct their MPs to vote to orders. The EFF will vote to orders as will the DA. That's of the big parties.

Ramaphosa's private interests at stake in Phala Phala saga, inquiry hears

The Western Cape High Court heard arguments on Wednesday on Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane challenging her suspension.

Tho witness was very cheeky as an employee.

The day after he requested Mkhwebane resign, Samuel says he was blocked from accessing his work emails.

The letter's heading was: "FRIENDLY REQUEST TO RESIGN"

Disciplinary charges came a few days later and he was suspended.

This saga is dragging on way too long, but delicious irony to see Dali Mpofu making a fool of himself:

PUBLIC PROTECTOR IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY: Mpofu feels ‘ambushed’ as photo confirms that witness was with Mkhwebane at Vrede dairy inspection

Late on Monday, a photograph presented by evidence leaders showed that Section 194 inquiry witness Sphelo Samuel, Free State head of the Public Protector, had, indeed, been present at a 2017 site inspection at the Vrede Dairy farm with Busisiwe Mkhwebane.

So, the PP lied (what's new?) about not knowing Samuel and her lawyer used that lie to attack a witness. Curious that Dali isn't countering any of the evidence but just goes after the witnesses instead of the evidence. Even his side kick is continuing the vein.

Dali and Mkhwebane are worthy contenders for the Mampara of the week award, I don't see anyone eclipsing their performance.

He doesn't care.... getting paid for each appearance and we are paying him.
Anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together thinks he is a poephol, but his target clients lap up his performances
