JOHANNESBURG - South Africa’s top court ruled on Monday that an anti-corruption official who has accused President Cyril Ramaphosa of serious misconduct had acted in bad faith when investigating an apartheid-era bank bailout.
“This court upholds the High Court’s finding that the public protector acted in bad faith,” the constitutional court said. “This court accordingly concludes that the punitive aspect of the cost order against the public protector must stand,” the constitutional court said in Monday’s ruling. “This will set a precedent for all other public protectors,” she said, adding that she would study the judgment before making more detailed comment.Supporters of Ramaphosa accuse Mkhwebane of acting as a proxy for a faction of the governing African National Congress party that is aligned with former president Jacob Zuma, which she denies.
The saga is a headache for Ramaphosa, who has staked his reputation on cleaning up deep-rooted corruption and reviving Africa’s most developed economy, providing ammunition for enemies including Zuma loyalists within the ANC.
