Former Public Protector Mkhwebane, impeached for misconduct, seeks a court order to pay her R10 million gratuity.

Former Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane, now an EFF MP, is challenging the refusal of the Public Protector's Office to pay her R10 million ($614,000) gratuity. Mkhwebane, impeached in Sept 2023 for misconduct and incompetence, seeks a court order directing the current Public Protector, Advocate Kholeka Gcaleka, to pay the gratuity within 30 days of the court's ruling. The Office of the Public Protector argues Mkhwebane is not entitled to the gratuity due to her removal from office, not voluntary resignation.
