DA caucus says Public Protector’s report on Zille must go to ‘another post box’
5 July 2018
Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane's report on Western Cape premier Helen Zille's tweets about colonialism will not be entertained by the Western Cape legislature, DA chief whip Mark Wiley said on Wednesday.
"Unfortunately, the Public Protector seems to have given the impression that she has lodged her document relating to Helen Zille's tweet with the Western Cape legislature. Unfortunately, it is not our jurisdiction," he said during the caucus' quarterly performance briefing.
"If she read the law, she has to give it to another post box," he said.
"The functions of the Western Cape provincial parliament do not include those mentioned in the report's recommendations."
