Former public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane is awaiting a verdict on her R10m gratuity claim at the Pretoria high court on Wednesday. Mkhwebane argues that she is entitled to the money, while public protector Kholeka Gcaleka opposes the claim citing Mkhwebane’s impeachment. Mkhwebane was ousted from her position last year due to misconduct and incompetence following a section 194 parliamentary inquiry.
As the court prepares to make a decision on the matter, the outcome will have significant implications on Mkhwebane’s future and the precedent it sets for former public officials in similar situations. The case has sparked public interest and debate on the accountability and entitlements of officials in positions of power.
