Controversial advocate Thulani Makhubela has been recused as a Khampepe Inquiry commissioner, following complaints about his purported anti-foreigner views and support for anti-foreigner organisations on social media.
The inquiry was established to probe the circumstances that led to a blaze that claimed the lives of 77 people in Marshalltown in August. Some of the people who perished in the fire were foreigners.
In November, the Socio-Economic Rights Institute (SERI) wrote to the commission after it saw a series of tweets on X, formerly known as Twitter.
