I’m really starting to worry about something am slowly but surely picking up with the incumbent Public Protector Advocate Nompilo Kholeka Gcaleka. There’s an unbecoming pattern in how she approaches certain high-profile investigations; especially in my view that involves the President, and it’s seriously beginning to feel somewhat off for my liking. On the surface, it looks like inconsistency in her findings, but when you zoom in a bit more, you than start to see a very strange and worrisome consistency too — particularly when it comes to how she handles anything involving the incumbent President. It’s almost as if, no matter the issue or even the seriousness of the allegation, President Ramaphosa comes out clean, while someone else ends up carrying the blame for the same charge or allegation. Take the whole Phala Phala saga, for instance. Advocate Gcaleka didn’t find the President guilty of any wrongdoing there — not because the situation wasn’t questionable or murky, but solely because, as she put it in her findings, the “transaction wasn’t perfected.” Instead, she shifted the responsibility or blame to Major-General Wally Rhoode, the then head of the Presidential Protection Unit (PPU). The focus was no longer on the head of state but on the man meant to protect him, as if the issue begins and ends with the security detail. That raised eyebrows then, and now again, she’s done something similar. Today, she's released another report where the President has been cleared again — this time on allegations of power abuse and maladministration. Again, the Public Protector says in her report that the allegations against President Ramaphosa are not substantiated. But who catches the blame? The former Premier of the Free State, Mme Sefora Hixsonia "Sisi" Ntombela, for the same charge or allegation. This is now becoming a concerning unbecoming pattern — the same type of allegations keep bouncing off the President, while others are held accountable in his place. Look, I don’t want to sound cynical, but this approach doesn’t sit well with me. It makes the Office of the Public Protector look selective, possibly even biased, or politically motivated and that’s very dangerous and disheartening for a Chapter 9 institution that’s meant to serve as a watchdog over all public officials, no matter how high up they are. If the Public Protector is unable or unwilling to hold the most powerful office in the land accountable, then it casts a long shadow of doubt over the entire institution. And when that happens, ordinary people start losing trust — and when trust in institutions breaks down, so does the health of our constitutional democracy. I’m seriously saying this with all due respect: if Advocate Gcaleka’s personal hesitations, caution or loyalties prevent her from standing up to the Presidency when it’s required, then her presence in that office might end up doing more harm than good. That office doesn’t belong to her, or any personal considerations in any shape or form — it belongs to the people of South Africa. It’s not about who she favours or fears. It’s about accountability. And right now, the pattern in my zero opinion is troubling. ⚖️ 🇿🇦

An End of an Era The passing of Dr. SD Gumbi marks the end of an era in my view; a giant of the old gospel has departed. Tsiii! Thina sikhulele kwinkonzo yeVangeli, sicula amacilongo, sihamba iSunday School from the African Gospel Church tradition kwelaBhayi and so much of our spiritual upbringing is intertwined with the sound and presence of this servant of God. This is indeed heartbreaking news to receive and to accept. Go well, son of God, father, and true servant of the Body of Christ. Your slow yet steady and powerful voice, your ministry, your unwavering devotion within the broader mission of the body of Christ have undoubtedly touched countless hearts, lives, and homes. You carried the Gospel with grace, with discipline, and with power. I wholeheartedly extend my deepest condolences to the Gumbi family, his ministry, and the entire Body of Christ. You have lost a pillar and so have we all. At this time, let us all take shelter and strength from the holy scriptures as written: 📖🕯️🙏🏼 > "Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness." ~ Matthew 25:23 > "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." ~ 2 Timothy 4:7 > “Then I heard a voice from heaven say, ‘Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’ ‘Yes,’ says the Spirit, ‘they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.’” ~ Revelation 14:13 > “The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death.” ~ Isaiah 57:1-2 > “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His faithful servants.” ~ Psalm 116:15 Rest in peace, Dr. SD Gumbi, and rise in glory. 🕊️ ❤️
