Suspended Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane is facing a parliamentary inquiry into her fitness to hold office.
This is the fourth week of hearings where several witnesses have been called to present evidence before Parliament's Section 194 committee. Mkhwebane is being represented by advocate Dali Mpofu, SC.
In March 2021, Mkhwebane became the first head of a Chapter 9 institution to be impeached when the National Assembly adopted a motion to that effect.
According to the committee's timeline, it will start deliberations on the testimony they have heard by the middle of August. A draft report will be compiled and given to Mkhwebane for her consideration.
