There has also been growing criticism of her level of competence.

The organisations are marching as the Concerned Citizens Alliance and believe the longer Mkhwebane is in office, the longer the reputation of her office is undermined.

The alliance's Hangwi Maumela says the Public Protector has lost focus of her primary mandate.
