Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane is facing arrest for an allegation of perjury. A Star investigation has uncovered Mkhwebane was last week requested to submit a statement at the Hillbrow police station in Joburg.
The statement would act as an admission of guilt in a plot to have her arrested before she delivers a report in which President Cyril Ramaphosa is being investigated for approving the ANC’s controversial trip to Zimbabwe on a defence force aircraft.
A source at the Hillbrow SAPS has revealed to Independent Media that, on Tuesday, someone from Ramaphosa’s office made a WhatsApp call to a police officer at the station asking why Mkhwebane had not been arrested yet.
Here is the document sent to Mkhwebane from SAPS:
