As an institution mandate to support and strengthen constitutional democracy, the respondent should be well aware of \u2026 the Constitution which guarantees everyone the right to freedom of expression.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These remarks ring true in this matter. We should be very astute to condone any form of thought-control, however respectably dressed it may be in the name of discipline.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added, however, that the Public Protector did not testify during the process, so no evidence was given to justify a finding that Samuel made disparaging remarks about the Public Protector.<\/p>\n<p>Mkhwebane has been in the spotlight as Parliament forges ahead with its inquiry into her fitness to hold office, despite her attempts to prevent it.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, President Cyril Ramaphosa suspended Mkhwebane.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
