If Busisiwe Mkhwebane is honourable, she will quit, says EFF
The party has questioned the public protector’s honesty, saying if she really accepted that her directive was flawed, she should not have waited for others to go to court

The EFF have called on Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane to resign after she backtracked on plans to square off with the Reserve Bank in court. Mkhwebane announced on Monday that she had reversed her decision after taking legal advice. She plans to pay legal costs of the application. But the EFF said that was not good enough. "We call on her to do the honourable thing and step down. This is not only for an illegitimate and dangerous remedial action‚ but also for the audacity of offering to use public funds to pay for her incompetent decisions‚" the party said in a statement.
