TIMELINE: Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane's term in office so far
After being in office for more than two years now, Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane has faced criticism for some of her reports and some have said that she is "incompetent" and that her credibility has "plummeted".
Mkhwebane previously said her office was going through "testing times" and that the institution was faced with attacks from every angle, including the "most unfair reporting in the media".
The DA has repeatedly called on National Assembly Speaker Thandi Modise to appoint a committee to probe Mkhwebane's fitness to hold office.
Here is a look at her time in office thus far:
October 2016: Mkhwebane is appointed new Public Protector. She was selected from more than 60 candidates nominated by South Africans. Her candidacy was endorsed with an overwhelming 263 votes during a debate in the National Assembly on September 7, 2016. Seventy-nine MPs voted against it and one abstained. Only the DA opposed her nomination and accused her of being a spy and on the State Security Agency's payroll.
