Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane has undertaken to cooperate with authorities on her pending perjury case, committing to present herself to the court as she “is confident” it “will clear her of any wrongdoing”.
Mkhwebane was on Tuesday, 15 December served with a summons to appear in the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court to face charges of perjury. In a statement on Friday, her office said: “As a law-abiding citizen, the public protector will cooperate and present herself to the court on 21 January 2021 as required and is confident that the court will clear her of any wrongdoing.”
“It is not for the first time that Advocate Hoffman SC has sought to nail the public protector. In July 2019, he laid a complaint with the Legal Practice Council to have her struck off the roll of advocates. In March 2020, the Gauteng division of the High Court in Pretoria dismissed his application for a declaratory order that the public protector was unfit to hold office.
