Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane said she would appeal Monday’s court order suspending her remedial action against Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan, saying Pretoria high court Judge Suret Potterill had “overreached”.

An interim interdict was granted by Potterill, after she found that Gordhan had established a prima facie right on a number of grounds and would suffer irreparable harm if it was not granted. Unless set aside on appeal, the judgment means that nothing can be done on the remedial action until the courts have finally decided whether to set aside the report as a whole.

In the so-called “rogue unit” report, the public protector found that Gordhan deliberately misled Parliament when answering a parliamentary question about meeting the Guptas, that he had authorised the establishment of an intelligence gathering unit within the South African Revenue Service “in violation of intelligence prescripts” and that the unit had conducted unauthorised operations.

The statement said Potterill had “address[ed] matters she had not been called upon to hear and pronouncing on issues that were not placed before her”.The public protector “has also not taken kindly” to Potterill’s reliance on correspondence between her office and President Ramaphosa “even though the letters concerned had nothing to do with the “rogue unit” matter before her but related instead to the Pillay pension investigation”.

Let's see something hear.

her incompetency forced to say what they said

There we go again 🙄. Who is advising this lady, they sure are worse at it.

Yazi the truth can hurt. Only thing u need to do is accept

Just shows how little she actually knows about the law. ' Nonsensical' is a common used term in judgements when it's nonsensical

The judge had pre- determined idea what would be her judgment regarding Monday's court hearing

Good one...

Who is going to pay for this appeal. Taxpayers or Mkhwebane?

Appeal its your constitutional right👏

Oh really

Overreached : is the word mostly synonymous with Mkhwebane's findings and remedial actions when taken for a review so it is interesting so see her raising concerns about it.

Nonsensical - as an adjective also defined as 'ridiculously impractical or ill-advised'. Madam PP, if I was in a position to advise Judge Suret Potterill, it would be that her use of the word 'nonsensical' referred to you being 'ill-advised'. Case closed.

PP calm down girl, dont push hard. You have shaken the tree, just cool down until the court review process is finished.

You are going to loose again!!! When are you going to get the message - you must go!!!
