MEET THE NEW
sheriff
There’s a new public protector (PP) coming town and her name is
Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane. She will be taking over from the
peoples favourite Advocate Thuli Madonsela who has done a stellar
job in exposing corruption at some of the State Owned Enterprises
and government departments. An astute Advocate Busisiwe came tops
as the favorite from the list of 14 shortlisted candidates who were
earmarked to take the over as PP. Adv. Mkhwebane worked in the
public protectors’ office from 1999 to 2005 as a senior investigator
and acted as a provincial representative for the office of the PP.
She was also a senior researcher for the South African Human Rights
Commission and has worked in the department of justice. She has
also worked extensively on issues related to refugees and asylum
seekers, as a result of specialising in immigration law during her
time as an advocate of the high court.
The role of the PP was elevated when a then unknown Advocate Thuli
Madonsela took the office, she brought statue to the office and gave
us the public a voice on issues that affect us on a daily. Adv.
Mkhwebane will definitely keep on flying the flag high from Adv
Madonsela and We Welcome you
