Mkhwebane shocked to learn of LPC’s legal action through social media
Busisiwe Mkhwebane, the former Public Protector of South Africa, was shocked to learn through social media that the Legal Practice Council (LPC) is seeking to remove her from the roll of advocates.
This follows her impeachment in 2023 for misconduct and incompetence. While the LPC has not disclosed specific charges, their legal action signals concerns about her professional conduct.
Mkhwebane, now an MP with the MK Party, has called the move politically motivated, pointing to her political ties.
The LPC will soon file a court application, and Mkhwebane will have a chance to defend herself. This is an ongoing development, with more details expected soon.
