Mkhwebane insists her legal team hasn't withdrawn, says inquiry & media hostile

CAPE TOWN - Busisiwe Mkhwebane faced the Section 194 inquiry on her own again on Tuesday, but reassured its members that her legal team had not withdrawn.Mkhwebane also accused the committee conducting the inquiry of being hostile.

The committee spent another day hearing from Mkhwebane and why her legal team abandoned proceedings last week. She told the inquiry that her legal team had not withdrawn, while also accusing it and the media of being hostile. "It was never the case that any of my legal representatives withdrew from representing me or walked out as incorrectly alleged by some members of the committee, the parliamentary legal adviser, and some sections of the media who are hostile to me.""They were here for that application for postponement and I'm very much concerned to proceed without my legal representation."

The inquiry will continue its business on Wednesday morning, with more evidence from senior Public Protector official, Cornelius van der Merwe.

If they didn't walk out or withdrawn where are they without explanation..what game are they playing..do they want to prolong/disrupt enquiry..what are they up to..enquiry should continue time is limited & PP should take notes she's an advocate I guess..this is waste of pub funds

On PlanetMkhwebane, her legal team hasn't withdrawn they've just said bye bye!!

Well then they must be held in contempt of court.

As much as this is clear Stalingrad from Busi/Mpofu - its stupid of the chair to allow the process to continue without Mkwhebane having legal representation. They will run straight to the concourt and undermine the whole thing.

If her 'legal team' has not withdrawn, where are they? Who is paying for this travesty of justice it must be nice to be a judge who gets paid for unproductive time)?

Instead of engaging in conspiracy theories, it would be helpful if Mkhwebane could explain why HUGE AMOUNTS of SATaxpayersMoney were used to pay KimHeller SiphoSeepe & PaulNgobeni to write sympathetic articles about her! A CLEAR abuse of her mandate & public money!!

But she is not talking about how her legal representative is undermining the commission.

I wish these crooks could see what we see. How obvious their tactics are.

Mkhwebane says legal team still representing herSuspended Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane tells the inquiry probing her fitness to hold office that her legal team did not withdraw from the hearing. Breaking news: AdvBMkhwebane is being subjected to unfair process in which she is not afforded an opportunity to have a legal representation. You might not like what AdvDali_Mpofu did. Deal with that through the appropriate channels. What is going on now is injustice. This is so confusing. If rep didn't attend hearing because of withdrawal but client doesn't know, a problem. If rep didn't attend hearing but hasn't withdraw, a whole different problem. Are we drawing a line between court/tribunal conduct? Because... 😳 Where?
