I agree with new Public Protector - Madonsela
26 October 2016
Johannesburg - Former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela agrees with her successor’s decision not to oppose President Jacob Zuma's application for an interdict against the release of the “state capture” report.
"I’m not surprised. I probably would have made the same decision if I was the new PP," she said at the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners’ awards on Tuesday night.
Busisiwe Mkhwebane, who took office on Monday, October 17, had a right to make her own decisions, Madonsela said.
She added that Mkhwebane had not had the opportunity to meet with her and get a sense of what was her thinking was.
