Public Protector under attack

It was just a matter of time. Can't have someone actually doing their jobs -especially when, potentially, exposing the real goings-on.

There is good news however. Apparently it is not easy at all to remove her from office: http://constitutionallyspeaking.co.za/hands-off-the-public-protector/

I can't quite pin down why, but I'm pretty sure she is one of the good guys.

Thing is she is doing her job and doing it well, this does not sit well with the corrupt & incompetent.

They are messing with the wrong women, she's one of the draftees of the constitution and has a very impressive cv/track record as well. http://www.whoswho.co.za/thulisile-madonsela-9068

True, but the ANC government does control her budget.

I don't know what to make of that website. People have been quoting it for a few years now, especially John Robbie on 702, but reading the comments on that site makes me very suspicious.

Sigh, rather then fighting against corrupt people; the ANC prefers to tackle the person who is exposing it. I admit I haven't followed the public protector closely but she seems to be doing a decent job from the bits I've heard, so I hope things work out in her favour.

Lol yea I avoid the comments, just read the articles, they are quite good.

Prof de Vos knows what he's talking about, so from a constitutional law perspective he provides very good analyses. At times he goes off on a tangent when his personal beliefs/alignments/etc. come into play. Ignore the latter and you still have a sound analysis.

Regarding the comments; isn't this the case for most sites that have a comment function (nevermind an open comment function).

Back on topic: for those who haven't read it, an almost rock-solid press release regarding the allegations. I just love getting the feeling that she has nothing to hide.

But anyway, we all knew it was just a matter of time until they would start gunning for her.
You can't keep pointing out the obvious corruption in the ANC and expect to come away unscathed.

I can see why they hate her. Not only is she good at her job, which automatically makes her a target since it exposes the incompetence of the rest of the government, but she's also keeping the piggies away from their troughs. So of course they'll accuse her of being a counter-revolutionary agent/racist/DA supporter/whatever the flavour of the month is.

They fighting already among themselves... (the corrupt) in the ANC...

I hope they search hard and deep and get nuddu so that she continue to peruse the corrupt thieves in the government.
