Thuli Madonsela settling some scores against President Zuma
Judge Dunstan Mlambo says President Jacob Zuma’s argument - that then Public Protector Thuli Madonsela could not recommend an inquiry be set up into #StateCapture - is not sustained.
Mlambo also ruled that another one of Zuma’s arguments - that Ethics act doesn’t allow for inquiry - was misconceived.
Judgment continues.

#StateCapture Mlambo: The PP has made a number of damning findings against the President. Jonas’ accusation was never investigated by the Pres or anyone in the executive.

These findings about the powers of the public protector are lovely when it comes to Thuli Madonsela but scary when you consider her bumbling successor.
