A good week for Busisiwe Mkhwebane

It’s not often that Busisiwe Mkhwebane gets to whoop it up after going to court. In yet another legal matter taken by the public protector (currently rusticated), who has already spent R146m of taxpayers’ money in such ventures, she got a rare thumbs-up from the John Hlophe high court in the Western Cape. The ruling in her favour allowed her to return to the fray against her bête noire, President Cyril Ramaphosa. Her euphoria was short-lived, however, with the DA and the presidency appealing, even asking the Constitutional Court to step in.

A bad week for Prince Andrew

The one got the diamonds (among them the Cullinan); the other is tipped to get the dogs. The crown jewels went to King Charles III as part of the royal inheritance. It is speculated that his younger brother Prince Andrew, who has been in the dog box since being cited in legal actions concerning the dead roue and alleged paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, will get the late queen’s three surviving dogs — two corgis and a dorgi (cross between a corgi and a dachshund). Over her lifetime, Queen Elizabeth owned more than 30 corgis.
