Former public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane was "out of line" with many political and other parties calling for a probe into her alleged racial slurs.
But for the impeached former public protector, she insists she has done nothing wrong, offering a soft apology yesterday.
Mkhwebane apologised for her alleged racial remarks when she claimed she was targeted by judicial officers of Indian descent.
Mkhwebane this week accused individuals of "predominantly Indian descent" of "persecuting" her. She made these comments in reaction to the dismissal of her appeal in the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA).
On Tuesday, the SCA struck from the roll Mkhwebane's leave to appeal application against a previous ruling by the Western Cape High Court. She was arguing for the recusal of certain members in the committee that removed her as public protector.
She claimed Judge Visvanathan Ponnan displayed "noticeable arrogance and dismissiveness" throughout the proceedings.
Mkhwebane also slammed late former public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan, Nazreen Bawa (evidence leader), Zuraya Adhikarie (parliament chief legal advisor), Hassan Ebrahim (expert witness), Ivan Pillay (witness), and Fatima Ebrahim (parliament legal advisor).
