‘Political persecution’ – MK party slams LPC bid to strike Mkhwebane off advocates’ roll [VIDEOS]

The MK party has condemned the LPC's attempt to remove Busisiwe Mkhwebane from the advocates' roll, labeling it as political persecution. The LPC claims Mkhwebane is unfit to be an advocate due to findings from a parliamentary investigation. This move is seen as an attack on Mkhwebane's integrity and independence, which could have significant implications for her role as Public Protector, a position crucial for overseeing government transparency and accountability. The controversy highlights the ongoing tensions between political parties and the institutions meant to ensure government accountability.
