“Please speak to the witness [Madonsela] not to interrupt advocate Mpofu. When she just barges in and interrupts, it is not fitting… Still then, these reports, said Madonsela, had “failed to meet the Standards in the Standard Operating Protocol (SOP) I personally developed and issued as a handbook, even after training using the same tool. The focus of the investigation then had been on what occurred after 1998, which had proven “complicated”, said Madonsela. I am trying to get your attention and you can’t start by saying ‘what’s that?’. Dyantyi: “Well, you do not raise it like that. Why do you say ‘what’s that?’.Why are you speaking to me like a garden boy? And while the CIEX report had initially been rejected by PP investigators, it was Advocate Paul Hoffmann who had revived interest in later years. They were meant to be transported by Dirco.” Malema word cloud: “Why are you speaking to me like a garden boy? Gone was her customary apparent public reservedness and soft-spokenness. She was not appearing ‘to play games’, said Professor Thuli Madonsela, on Monday.

We had a public protector who’s not security cleared, who’s not an advocate, at least as defined in the current law,” Advocate Mpofu said. “I am appointed as a chair in social justice, as the affidavit says. “The public knows. And the affidavit did not claim that I am an advocate, but again, there’s a role of advocacy in this country. “It’s immaterial! Stick to the rules here!” Madonsela exclaimed.

State Security Agency wanted to spy on me, says Thuli Madonsela (Business Day)

Former public protector and Dali Mpofu cross swords at parliamentary inquiry into Mkhwebane's fitness to hold office.

That’s the context in which I’m talking about being spied on,” she said. It was incorrect for Mpofu to say not being vetted by an institution that “had gone rogue” at the time was wrong, she said. “I had been public protector for four or five years and as I was finalising the Waterkloof landing matter the last person I interviewed was from the SSA,” she said.

Mpofu was uncomfortable with Madonsela changing her affidavit statements, saying some pages were not signed by the commissioner of oaths. The committee said Mpofu must prove if it’s law that each page should be signed by a commissioner of oaths in which he referenced the 1963 Justices of the Peace and Commissioners of Oaths Act. Madonsela said her first statement had spelling errors, that she had to amend it and make corrections and was alone with no commissioner of oaths when she made the amendments.

Another matter that again made an appearance was the role of the State Security Agency. Madonsela was reluctant to appear before the committee because as she put it, she did not see the relevance of her evidence.

So, as professionals we also have to be self-regulating about what we ask and what we discuss without waiting for the chairperson to tell us,” responded Madonsela. “You are wrong, I’m not paid for every word I utter. The information is with the public protector, in the archives and staff members.” This is a forum about my successor Adv Mkhwebane,” she said. Dyantyi intervened and instructed Madonsela to “tone down on that kind of strong language” after Mpofu complained about “the insults” and threatened to fight back. Why would you do that?

I am simply demonstrating that you and I agreed it is illegal.” Mpofu said Madonsela presented to the committee “just a litany of falsity” and was not an affidavit. I regarded them as irrelevant.

Not investigating politicians is a breach of standards, former public protector tells inquiry into her successor, Busisiwe Mkhwebane.

[former Free State premier Ace Magashule](https://mg.co.za/politics/2021-11-06-the-case-against-ace-magashule/)’s name cropped up from the earliest stages of her office’s investigation into the Vrede dairy farm scandal. On Monday, Madonsela disclosed that she had tea with Magashule but said it was incorrect, if this was Herron’s understanding, that this encounter persuaded her that the investigation should look into the role of politicians in the Free State farming community upliftment project that turned into a R280 million fraud and corruption scandal.
