The South African Communist Party says no threat against it will reverse its call for parliament to institute an inquiry into the fitness of the Public protector, Busisiwe Mkhwebane. This after Mkhwebane's office released a statement demanding that the SACP's Deputy General Secretary Solly Mapaila, retracts and apologise for alleging that Mkhwebane, is a "hired gun of the fight back agenda that is used by rogue elements within the intelligence". Mkhwebane has also threatened to take legal action against the SACP but the party insists that its voice will not be silenced.
