Mkhwebane holds her own in first parly appearance

It took 68 seconds for new Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane to answer questions on the hot potato that is the so-called state capture report left by her predecessor.

DA MP Werner Horn was the first to pose questions to Mkhwebane on her maiden appearance before Parliament’s oversight committee on her office.

Horn didn’t waste any time and asked Mkhwebane about the report which her predecessor Thuli Madonsela chose not to publish last week, after President Jacob Zuma and Cooperative Governance Minister Des van Rooyen approached the courts to interdict the release of the report.
