President of the Republic of South Africa and African National Congress Cyril Matamela Ramaphosa put the suspension in effect Thursday June 9, 2022.
South Africa’s constitution provides that the President may suspend the Public Protector (or any member of a Chapter 9 institution) “at any time after the start of proceedings by a committee of the National Assembly for [their] removal”. Her suspension comes after she confirmed that she would investigate president Cyril Matamela Ramaphosa for allegedly breaching the executive code of ethics relating to alleged criminal activities at his farm.
The presidency said that Mkhwebane would remain suspended until an impeachment process in parliament has been completed.
Now it has been reported that The Section 194 committee probing suspended public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s fitness to hold office has made a number of scathing findings and on Sunday agreed that she handled the investigation into CR17 in an incompetent manner.
