What motivated Mkhwebanes pursuit of certain people?
In giving the hapless Mkhwebane yet another judicial roasting  this time over her abysmally bad report on the contentious CR17campaign funding  Jafta said: The public protector, like all of us, is fallible and mistakes are to be expected in the course of the exercise of her powers.

In giving the hapless Mkhwebane yet another judicial roasting  this time over her abysmally bad report on the contentious CR17campaign funding  Jafta said: The public protector, like all of us, is fallible and mistakes are to be expected in the course of the exercise of her powers. But what is troubling in this matter is the series of weighty errors, some of which defy any characterisation of an innocent mistake.  That is certainly a telling observation, given that Mkhwebane appears to have been hell-bent, in a series of reports, at pushing a line sympathetic to the Jacob Zuma faction within the ANC and critical of President Cyril Ramaphosa and his allies. Thats a question which must be asked of the person who is supposed to oversee the work of the government and civil service in a manner which reflects the utmost impartiality. The office of the public protector is intended for a highly qualified  and experienced  lawyer and Mkhwebane seemed to fit the bill when she was appointed. Yet, her repeated defeats in judicial reviews  and the punitive costs awarded against her in a personal capacity in one  indicate a scarcely believable level of incompetence. This is an issue which goes further than Mkhwebane herself. Her office is an important part of the system of checks and balances which underpins our democracy. It must always be beyond reproach.
