She won't suffer then, +/-R150k is nothing for someone like her.
Unacceptable! So much money for doing what? Protecting a corrupt president?Petty cash for her.
I am open to correction but remember reading recently that she could expect R42 million bonus at end of her term.

CAPE TOWN - Parliament's Justice Committee has confirmed it's received a letter from Absa's legal representatives, accusing Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane of lying to Members of Parliament.
Mkhwebane appeared before the committee 6 March to explain details in her report into the apartheid-era bailout of Bankorp.
Pretoria - In another legal blow to Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane, the Gauteng High Court Pretoria on Wednesday turned down an application by her for leave to appeal against last month’s judgment and subsequent order that she personally pay 15% of the costs of the application by the SA Reserve Bank.
A full bench (three judges) in February set aside Mkhewbane’s direction to the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) to reopen its investigation into the apartheid-era bailout granted to Bankorp that Absa should repay R1.25 billion to the Reserve Bank.
As part of its order, the court ruled that she had to pay 85% of the Reserve Bank’s legal costs in her official capacity and 15% in her personal capacity.
The court at the time in a scathing judgment, said: “In the matter before us it transpired that the Public Protector does not fully understand her constitutional duty to be impartial and to perform her functions without fear, favour or prejudice.”
Smart money says her response comes from this list:Absa accuses Public Protector of lying to Parliament
It hasn’t gonna to appeal, it’s a fairly straight forward case, not many days in court. I doubt the whole case (including Absa) would be over 1 million.
IF I understand this correctly she has to pay One million

Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane is not giving up her fight to overturn the estimated R900‚000 legal bill she was ordered to pay after her disastrous court battle with the Reserve Bank.
The High Court in Pretoria ordered that Mkhwebane personally pay 15% of the Reserve Bank’s legal costs in its successful challenge to her report on the apartheid-era bailout given to Bankorp. Bankorp was later taken over by Absa.

Yep, ask for direct access to the Concourt. The only criminal organization in South Africa that will probably protect you along with your buddies.
Just quoting this for posterity so when the concourt delivers her the beat down we can all laugh at youYep, ask for direct access to the Concourt. The only criminal organization in South Africa that will probably protect you along with your buddies.
At least they got one out of three right. Maybe.I grew up in a remote bush valley on the edge of the old Nyasaland and clearly remember my parents saying, on several occasions, that the only people that could be trusted were a doctor, a priest and a lawyer.
