The source of alleged leaks from the ConCourt to legal analyst Ismail Abramjee may well be from members of the administrative staff or a judicial official — but the evidence points towards members of the judiciary, public protector claimed on Tuesday.

She said telephone records obtained by her office showed that 18 calls were exchanged between the number allegedly belonging to Abramjee and one registered under the name Narandran Kollapen.

Mkhwebane made these allegations in her closing report on Tuesday after her office conducted a preliminary investigation into suspicions of improper conduct by a Constitutional Court employee for allegedly leaking information concerning judicial proceedings.

The investigation followed a text message that Abramjee sent to Breitenbach, the lead senior counsel for parliament's speaker, in April. The text message led to the last-minute postponement of an urgent application in the Western Cape High Court to put the brakes on impeachment proceedings in parliament and to interdict Mkhwebane’s possible suspension by President Cyril Ramaphosa.

Mkhwebane said as part of the preliminary investigation, her office considered information in the Pretoria Rekord newspaper of March 29 where the newspaper carried a story about a function held in honour of justice Jody Kollapen after his appointment to the apex court. She said the function was reportedly hosted by the Pretoria Legacy Foundation in Laudium, west of Pretoria. She said the newspaper referred to Kollapen as the chairperson of the foundation and Abramjee as its spokesperson.
