The former public protector made the announcement on Wednesday morning.
Impeached former public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane has resigned from the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).
The MP made the announcement on Wednesday morning.
Mkhwebane handed her resignation letter to EFF leader Julius Malema and the party’s top six.
‘Freedom in vain’
In her resignation letter, she laments that she was removed as public protector.
“The past seven years have made me realise that our fight for freedom was in vain. There has never been a time when I felt my rights were violated as it has been done in the years I was the South African public protector.
“This continued even after I was unconstitutionally removed by Parliament and the President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa,” Mkhwebane said.
