Busisiwe Mkhwebane claims her former office has demanded she pay back money spent on litigation costs during her Public Protector term – but the R5.1 million claim against her is for the taxpayer funds spent on her unlawful luxury accommodation and personal legal costs.
Mkhwebane claimed in a Newzroom Afrika interview last week that her former office was "demanding some monies for the court cases for legal expenses which were incurred during my term as Public Protector".
She later said the legal costs she was now potentially liable for related to her "performing my responsibilities as the Public Protector" in "[t]hose cases which we were defending".
