The ANC majority on justice committee overrules opposition parties’ objections to Kholeka Gcaleka despite Corruption Watch warning

The ANC majority of parliament’s justice committee has controversially decided to recommend Kholeka Gcaleka as deputy public protector despite the strong objections by opposition parties.

Gcaleka was one of two candidates flagged as questionable by Corruption Watch, but ANC MPs said she had satisfactorily addressed all the issues raised by the NGO during her interview.

She said the candidates had displayed a lack of legal knowledge and none could adequately describe what the rule of law and due process are, which was extremely concerning. She disagreed with the ANC that Gcaleka had conducted a stellar interview, saying she was defensive and emotional and did not answer all the questions adequately.

She denied that in 2010 as chair of the Society of State Advocates she had supported Simelane’s plan to close the specialised crime unit and Asset Forfeiture Unit as claimed by Corruption Watch.
