In a surprising turn of events, former Public Protector advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane has found a new political home in the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF). This move comes after Mkhwebane’s premature impeachment by Parliament, abruptly ending her term as the country’s Public Protector.

Mkhwebane’s journey as Public Protector was not without controversy. Her tenure was marked by several high-profile investigations and legal battles, which ultimately led to her removal from office. Critics cited concerns about her competence and impartiality, leading to a heated debate in Parliament that resulted in her impeachment.
However, despite the challenges she faced, Mkhwebane remains a prominent figure in South African politics. Her decision to align herself with the EFF, a party known for its radical stance on economic transformation and social justice, has raised eyebrows and sparked intrigue among political observers.
In her farewell message, Mkhwebane expressed gratitude to her former colleagues and acknowledged the difficulties encountered during her time as Public Protector.
