Not that we expected any better of Busisiwe Mkhwebane, but just how low can this mampara stoop? The self-declared “fighter advocate” ticked every mamparadom box this week when reacting to another court judgment against her.

After the Supreme Court of Appeals ruled against her in a case related to her impeachment last year as public protector (read destroyer), this buffoon resorted to hurling racial slurs, blaming her “ongoing struggles” on “key figures of Indian descent”. Busimpara took aim  at the late Pravin Gordhan, Cape Town advocate Nazreen Bawa and two of parliament’s legal advisers, Zuraya Adhikarie and Fatima Ebrahim.

“I’m prepared to [apologise] if they think it's like that,” she told the SABC.

Now the fumbling advocate-cum-MK Party MP seems to have landed in hot water, with the FF+ and the DA referring her to parliament’s ethics committee for a possible breach of the legislature’s code of conduct.
