Some time ago, South Africa’s former Public Protector, Advocate Thuli Madonsela, made the role of the Public Protector widely recognized and accessible to many South Africans.
When her term ended, Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane was appointed, but her appointment divided the nation. Along the way, President Cyril Matamela Ramaphosa suspended her.
A few weeks ago, the South African Parliament decided to remove her.
On Thursday, the National Assembly approved the long-term appointment of the acting Public Protector with the necessary 60% vote threshold.
Former Public Protector Advocate Thuli Madonsela has broken her silence on the appointment of the new Public Protector, Advocate Kholeka Gcaleka, saying, Congratulations Deputy Public Protector Adv Kholeka Gcaleka on being appointed Public Protector. Well-deserved. May your leadership be blessed with the exceptional wisdom and fairness required for this important constitutional institution to fulfill the crucial role it was designed
