'It's enough now' - Majodina wants ANC to act against Dlamini-Zuma for her absence from Mkhwebane vote | The Citizen

Before the proceedings, Majodina said if push comes to shove, the ruling party will part ways with those who refuse to toe the party line.

The real problem is that the outgoing PP was appointed by parliament despite warnings to the contrary, and so will the new PP be rubber stamped soon:

Historic impeachment of Busisiwe Mkhwebane highlights impact of politicking in crucial public accountability appointments

South Africa’s first impeachment inquiry of a public office bearer ended on Monday with Busisiwe Mkhwebane voted out of office as Public Protector. Lasting for more than three years, the process, including the 14-month public inquiry, was mired in legal challenges and politicking.

She's already cost us R160 million for the inquiry,

Who received the R160 million?

The lawyers always win when there are endless disputes...

It could actually be interesting to see the flow of that money and if any makes it's way to our ex PP... Could be a nice little kick in the pants for Dali

So if you had the power - offer her the R10million as a golden handshake or do what happened today but it cost R30 million.

R160 million is tiny compared to what corruption costs us (taxpayers) every day. At least, PP getting kicked out gives me some satisfaction that the money was well spent.

Mkhwebane removed from office

Several small opposition parties protested, but the ANC’s might carried the vote

Freedom Front Plus MP Corné Mulder noted that roughly R36 million was spent on Mkhwebane’s legal fees and accused her lawyer, Dali Mpofu, of displaying contempt for the country’s poor majority by suggesting that the money he charged — in the order of R50 000 a day — was “peanuts”.

Mkhwebane is going to set jesus after Gordhan now..

Voting on the committee’s report took place by roll call. When his name was called, Gordhan responded by saying “absolutely yes”.

Holomisa reaching to yet another wrong conclusion. This guy..

UDM leader Bantu Holomisa said Mkhwebane committed the sin of doing her job too thoroughly.

I would like to see her struck off the advocate's roll, that would give me more satisfaction.

Holomisa is also the type who think leaders are anointed to positions. I wonder if the thought of stepping down has ever occurred to him? Or maybe he wants to surpass the legendary status of The Prince of kwaPhindangene by leading the party for 50 years.

That should be the absolute minimum that happens from here.

 

[Vrotappel]

Hoa many millions to remove this ANC scum.

 

[dualmeister]

He she it must have been doing a good job.

Pierre de Vos has some interesting points about the excessive legal fees, and the process:

The lessons learnt from the process to remove Busisiwe Mkhwebane from office

The story of the rise and fall of Busisiwe Mkhwebane is in many ways a curious and sad one. But it is also, looking beyond the individual, a rare good news story in which the responsible institutions more or less did what they were constitutionally required to do.

Yeah no, that mampara also ticked me off.

Yeah, but the economy is good. Just look at how far Zuma selling socks could get him.

Ramaphosa formally fires Mkhwebane a month before her term as Public Protector ends | News24

President Cyril Ramaphosa has formally fired advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane – a month before her term as Public Protector was due to end.

Mkhwebane on Wednesday morning posted Ramaphosa's letter online, stating: "This injustice, sadly perpetrated on Steve Biko Day, will be legally challenged in review proceedings.

"If I perish, I perish. Ngiyathokoza Mzansi and Africa."

She sounds so defeated.

Does she realise there are no more free legal fees? Or is she going to spend her last cent on fruitless litigation?
