What’s The Buzz? Eight candidates have been shortlisted to be considered as the next Public Protector. The list represents an even gender spread. The new public protector will take over from suspended Busisiwe Mkhwebane, whose term ends in October.
The eight candidates, who will now all be screened before being called for interviews next month, are mostly all legal professionals.
- They are Muvhango Lukhaimane, Advocate Tseliso Thipanyane, Advocate Lynn Marais, Advocate Kholeka Gcaleka, Advocate Oliver Josie, Advocate Tommy Ntsewa, magistrate Johannah Ledwaba and Professor Boitumelo Mmusinyane.
