Mkhwebane’s legal representative Muzi Sikhakhani says in her investigation, the Public Protector is guided by the law. Sikhakhani says, “Section 7 of the act gives her extensive investigative powers. On receipt of the complaint, she has the power to a preliminary probe for purposes of determining the merits of the complaint, allegations or information and the manner in which the matter concerned should be dealt with. She says that she has the power to determine the format and procedure to be followed in conducting any investigation.
But why can't ramaposa release the information regarding his campaign donations? If he's clean than why hide behind the court?
