The Section 194 impeachment inquiry committee also learnt that advocate Dali Mpofu had earned about R12-million in his defence of various disastrous legal challenges that Mkhwebane has undertaken.

Devastating evidence has been led at suspended Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s Section 194 impeachment inquiry — including that she was investigating changes to the Extension of Security of Tenure Act 62 of 1997.

Continuing his testimony on Wednesday, Neels van der Merwe, the senior manager of Legal Services at the Office of the Public Protector, revealed that in 2016 Mkhwebane had asked for a research paper which included proposals for an amendment to section 25 of the Constitution. Evidence was also led on Wednesday that Mkhwebane had consulted with Stephen Goodson — a Holocaust denialist and author of— who had worked on two proposals for a constitutional amendment with regard to the SA Reserve Bank.

He said he had been under the impression that the paper was aimed at informing “the PPSA’s submission to the Constitutional Review Committee. It had nothing to do with the CIEX report, as far as I was concerned.” It was in this position that Fraser illegally granted former president Jacob Zuma medical parole in 2021 after his incarceration on contempt of court charges. The decision has been declared unlawful by the courts.

Mkhwebane has consistently denied that her CIEX/Reserve Bank report was compiled with the help of SSA agent Mahendra Moodley, who had also been part of a team working on an IT package for the PP.has told the inquiry that in May 2017, in an email, Mkhwebane had requested “the SSA to provide input and economist [sic] to change the South African Reserve Bank’s constitutional mandate”.

I have said this some weeks ago already. Mpofu was used by many suspicious characters. I am convinced he knew the chances of success in court were zero. However, he was treated as if he was the only legal fundi in all of South Africa. He was allowed to drag on to make money

Daily maverick, they're part of ThumaMinaMediaGroup. Useless only targeting those who disagree with Ramaphosa and his Phala Phala Farm matters

Senior council are too expensive. Unless this money deserve by whites not blacks. He deserve every cent he got and still going to get from that office.

How is this Dali Mpofu fault. Do we also say the same thing when white Advocates gets jobs to defend government department cases like police and health which they even lose?

I think the reasons that DaliMpofu & Mkhwebane have been working so hard to derail the ImpeachmentInquiry are now clear to all: Parliament should just move on, ignoring the legal obstacles they constantly throw up! They are going to challenge the process regardless!!

It's crystal clear that Mkhwebane is just a RETpolitician, not a lawyer, as her defence & arguments consist of personal opinions; political comments; baseless allegations; absurd, hyperbolic language & a determination to paint herself as a victim

SC Trengove yena? How did he pocket from our tax money? Or it is only about blacks?

Milked the tax payer by frivolous schemes to launder money as though it was legal advice or appearances

After going through this article,Mkhwebane must just release herself from this institution before doing it a 'wasted 9 years of misrule' and at a hefty cost to the treasury.
