Yesterday The National Assembly afternoon voted in favour of establishing an ad hoc committee to investigate Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s fitness to hold office.
This followed a report by an independent review panel that recommended a parliamentary inquiry into the public protector’s fitness to hold office.
The panel was established by National Assembly speaker Thandi Modise last year after the Democratic Alliance tabled a motion for Mkhwebane’s removal from office.
The panel found substantial untested information of incompetence and misconduct against the public protector. 
The Economic Freedom Fighters , the African Transformation Movement, the United Democratic Movement and Al Jama-ah voted against the inquiry. 
The votes were 275 to 40, with one abstention.
The high court in December last year dismissed Mkhwebane’s urgent application to interdict parliament’s removal proceedings against her. 
The second part of the application is set to be heard on 7 June.
