Mkhwebane vs Baloyi: Court dismisses urgent application, says it does not have jurisdiction to hear it
12 December 2019
In the battle between Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane by her axed COO, Basani Baloyi, the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria dismissed an urgent application Baloyi had lodged against her former boss.
Judge Mmonoa Teffo found that the court did not have the jurisdiction to hear the matter.
"I have considered the cases referred to by the applicant's counsel which he submitted were heard by the high court and the issue of jurisdiction did not arise. The cases are in my view distinguishable," the judge found.
The application was dismissed with costs.
