Busiciu Mihuebane was appointed to the post by former President Jacob Zuma, to whom she is considered close and accused of bias in his favor. In recent years, many attempts have been made to remove her from office, and in May, parliament began the process of ousting her.

Former intelligence chief Arthur Fraser says the president paid the burglars to silence them.
