High court judge gives nod for Public Protector’s impeachment | CitypressPublic Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane was confident that she had the upper hand in her high court application to interdict National Assembly Speaker Thandi Modise from proceeding with the motion to remove her from office – but it was not to be.
