# Former Public Protector, Busisiwe Mkhwebane, says the timing and manner of the Legal Practice Council’s actions, suggest a politically motivated attempt to undermine her credibility. The council plans to file a court application to have Mkhwebane disbarred, saying this is based on findings from the Section 194 parliamentary inquiry. In 2023, she became the first Public Protector to be impeached, following the inquiry’s findings of misconduct and incompetence. Mkhwebane says her tenure as Public Protector upheld the highest legal and ethical standards.
