A former investigator in the Office of the Public Protector has told MPs that he did not think it odd when Public Protector Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane removed the names of prominent politicians, such as former president Thabo Mbeki, from her reports.

Before he left the office in 2017, he handed over a draft report to Mkhwebane which contained the names of politicians.This is what transpired between Advocate Tshiwalule and DA MP Kevin Mileham.

Mileham: “Do you know … [who] removed the three TMs, [former] president Thabo Mbeki, [former] finance minister, Trevor Manuel and then governor Tito Mboweni?” Tshiwalule: “When [the] report came back to me, some of [the] paragraphs [were] removed. I didn’t even ask her why it [they were] … removed.”Tshiwalule: “Yes I agree”.Request to subpoena President Cyril Ramaphosarequest for President Cyril Ramaphosa to appear before itMkhwebane’s legal representative Dali Mpofu has confirmed that he has written to the committee to subpoena President Ramaphosa.

One of the reports by Mkhwebane which has come under the spotlight during the Parliamentary inquiry, is her report on the CR17 campaign, in which Mkhwebane found that the President had misled Parliament with regard to his African National Congress election campaign.The court also found that the Public Protector did not have the authority to investigate intra-party elections.
