Public Protector Lawrence Mushwana has been ordered to reinvestigate the so-called Oilgate scandal. Almost two years after reserving judgment in an application by the Mail & Guardian newspaper to set aside a 2005 report by the Public Protector into complaints regarding the alleged misappropriation of public funds by PetroSA which allegedly ended up in the coffers of the ANC, Judge Ntsikelelo Poswa yesterday finally handed down a ruling. But he did not hand down his full judgment and is only expected to do so today. - The Citizen website
