ActionSA implores Parliament to appoint a qualified and competent Deputy Public Protector

ActionSA is calling on Parliament’s Justice and Correctional Services committee to not put forward narrow party-political interests as it finds a suitable candidate for the vacant position of Deputy Public Protector. The position became vacant last year after Kholeka Gcaleka was interviewed and appointed as the new Public Protector. The committee interviewed seven candidates on Wednesday and will deliberate next week. ActionSA’s, Julie Seton, says the Public Protector’s office needs to be adequately capacitated with the best personnel.
