CAPE TOWN/JOHANNESBURG - The Democratic Alliance said the North Gauteng High Court ruling on the Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s Estina Dairy Farm report made it clear that Parliament couldn't further delay removing her from office.The North Gauteng High Court earlier ordered Mkhwebane personally foot 7.5% of the legal costs of the DA and the Council for the Advancement of the South African Constitution in the Estina Dairy Farm matter.
Steenhuisen said the scathing comments in the judgement about her conduct were even further evidence that Parliament could no longer kick the can down the road in dealing with the matter. Steenhuisen said in her almost three years in office, Mkhwebane successfully tarnished the credibility, authority and independence of the Office of the Public Protector.
Meanwhile, various organisations under the banner of the Concerned Citizens Alliance are planning a march to the Public Protector's office, calling for her removal.
