Public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane on Monday managed to cross out certain accusations that Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan made in an affidavit as part of his bitter court battle.
The Pretoria High Court dropped the accusations as part of its findings against Mkhwebane on Monday, as it sidelined with costs the public protector report released in July last year in which it found that Gordhan had established an intelligence unit in the SA Revenue Office. Service in violation of intelligence prescriptions.
The court struck out paragraphs in Gordhan’s court request to annul the report.
Mkhwebane filed the strikethrough request, claiming that the allegations made were irritating, threatening and largely irrelevant, and that these allegations did not pertain to the court documents of a “self-respecting member of the national executive”.
Mkhwebane said Gordhan described her as corrupt, illiterate, mischievous, incompetent, irrational and unreasonable and unable to fill the position of public protector. The court agreed with Mkhwebane and said these allegations should be dropped.
