The suspended Public Protector of the Republic of South Africa advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane won the case last year against the decision by the president of the Republic of South Africa and African National Congress Cyril Matamela Ramaphosa of suspending her.

Unfortunately she couldn’t return since they were still fighting, challenging the court order and now her term is about to end.

The suspended Public Protector Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane, who was found not guilty by the Western Cape High Court in September 2023, said the court ruling has no value to her already severely impacted career as the public protector, with her term coming to an end in October this year.

This week, Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane reiterated her earlier sentiments that it is too late for her to return to her office. She’s currently busy with the Section 194 Enquiry which is assessing her fitness to hold office of the Public Protector.
