The Constitutional Court has dismissed, with costs, public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s application for leave to appeal against a judgment relating to her report on the Vrede dairy project.The parties which applied for the report to be set aside — the DA and the Council for the Advancement of the SA Constitution — argued that the report was a watered-down version of the truth which appeared to protect higher-ranking public servants.
Another judgment in the same matter later that year ordered Mkhwebane to pay 7.5% of the costs in her personal capacity, with the office of the public protector paying the remaining 92.5%. Mkhwebane then approached the highest court in the land to appeal against the judgment on the merits and costs. In its reaction, the DA said the public protector had now exhausted all avenues to delay holding senior politicians involved in the controversial Gupta-linked project to account, and was now required to finalise the report.
