There are no signs the Constitutional Court is preparing to deliver judgment in the case between Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane and the SA Reserve Bank (SARB) in the Absa-Bankorp lifeboat matter. Arguments were heard in November last year, almost eight months ago, notes a News24 report. Spokesperson in the office of the Chief Justice, Nathi Mncube, told News24 he does not have any notification on the case. ‘It's not a government decision, the judges only share information among themselves. It would be improper for the judges to share information regarding a decision of theirs with anyone but themselves,’ he said. Mkhwebane appealed a personal cost order against her, while the SARB in turn has asked for a declaratory order stating that she abused her power in the case.
