Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s potential appointment to the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) representing Umkhonto WeSizwe Party is sparking interesting conversations.
Mkhwebane’s history suggests she’s no stranger to controversy. As the former Public Protector of South Africa, she faced criticism for her handling of several high-profile cases, including the Ramaphosa report and the Absa Bank investigation.
It’s worth noting that Mkhwebane joined the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party in October 2023 and was sworn in as a Member of Parliament. This move raised eyebrows, especially considering her past statements about loyalty to the EFF.
Regarding her potential JSC appointment, some argue it could be a strategic move by Umkhonto WeSizwe Party to bolster their presence in the commission. Others see it as an opportunity for Mkhwebane to leverage her experience and expertise in a new role.
