Public Protector not a court of law - Madonsela
Parliament – Public Protector Thuli Madonsela is seemingly not letting her new found power go to her head.
Following a meeting with Parliament’s justice committee on Thursday, where some MPs lauded her office for its work, Madonsela said they had not been elevated to a court of law. They were however still an institution of a unique nature, she said.
Madonsela was vindicated recently when the Constitutional Court ruled that the powers of her office were binding.
The Constitutional Court last week ruled that Zuma had failed to uphold the Constitution when he did not comply with Madonsela’s remedial actions regarding the non-security upgrades to his Nkandla homestead.
She said, following the judgment, that they were now looking for the best ways of going forward.
