The Public Protector Adv Busiswe Mkhwebane has on two recorded occassions prioritised Andile Mngxitama’s Black First Land First Movement (BLF) over her other key stakeholders on the Bankcorp/CIEX/Reserve Bank matter.

The Mail & Guardian has been able to identify two instances in which Mkhwebane seemingly dropped what she was doing to attend to BLF. This, courtesy of South African Reserve Bank (SARB) court documents in a case at the High Court, in which Adv Mkhwebane is challenged on her recommendation to amend the mandate of SARB.

The documents show that on January 12 Mkhwebane met BLF about the ABSA matter – a meeting she failed to disclose in her report. The publication indicates that not much is known about this meeting, as she has not provided records.

According to SARB supporting documents, on February 28 BLF wrote an official submission to Mkhwebane relating to her investigation into the “apartheid era bailout of Bankcorp, later acquired by ABSA”.

ANCWL slams 'smear campaign' against Public Protector

Johannesburg - The African National Congress Women's League (ANCWL) on Friday slammed the "enormous attacks" allegedly being mounted against Public Protector Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane.

This after it emerged that Mkhwebane had secret meetings with officials from the Presidency and the State Security Agency (SSA) days before releasing a final report into the CIEX on Absa.

This was revealed in court papers filed by SARB in the Pretoria High Court earlier this week.

Mkhwebane's CIEX report, released on June 19 found that Absa bank should pay R1.15 billion to the fiscus over an "illegal gift given to Bankorp Limited/Absa Bank between 1986 and 1995".

The public protector also recommended that the mandate of the SARB be changed from targeting inflation to promoting economic growth.

Mkhwebane has since defended her disputed June 7 meeting with the Presidency, maintaining that “there was nothing sinister about that meeting”.

She's clearly unfit for the position. But she's even harder to remove from office than Zuma (or any president) requiring a 2/3 majority for the process to even get going.
