Insults
“Again, Mr Mpofu, this is not my impeachment … this is your client’s impeachment,” said Madonsela. In her closing remarks – marking the end of her turbulent testimony – Madonsela thanked the committee for “the privilege of being a witness”, although reluctantly. “That is shocking and unprofessional, sir.” While Accountability Now executive director advocate Paul Hoffman conceded that Mpofu’s outburst was being out of line, University of Pretoria senior law lecturer Dr Llewelyn Curlewis, described his behaviour as “highly unethical and disrespectful towards a colleague in the legal profession”.
“It is unacceptable, blatant arrogance and despicable to say the least,” said Curlewis. Against a background of Mkhwebane having experienced the wrath of SA courts of law, which have questioned her reports and overturned her recommendations, Hoffman said Mpofu was out of his depth.
