The office of the public protector has always been headed by an ANC cadre who steers clear of anything that might embarrass the ANC or government - Selby Baqwa, Lawrence Mushwana and now Busisiwe Mkhwebane.

Thuli Madonsella was an abberation - as an ANC member, Zuma thought he was appointing another Mushwana.
He later found out that Ms Madonsela is a person of integrity, decency and honesty, with a passion for human rights, who was fearless in exposing maladministration and corruption wherever it was found (the hight profile political cases are actually in the monority - most of the reports deal with unscrupulous service providers like net 1 who abuse the gogos.).

Time for Amabunghe and others to lift up a few of the rocks around Ms Mkhwebane and see what slithers out.
