Public Protector, advocate Thuli Madonsela, has once again appealed for increased funding to deal with the mountain of cases being dealt with by her office.
Madonsela presented her office's 2013/14 annual report to Parliament on Wednesday.
She told the Portfolio Committee on Justice and Correctional Services that the office handled 39 817 cases in the financial year in question, finalising more than 26 000 of those cases.
Her spokesperson, Oupa Segalwe, says she also specifically asked the committee to help her office get funding for the organogram Parliament approved in 2009- prior to her appointment as Public Protector.
He says National Treasury, working closely with the Department of Public Service and Administration revisited the structure of the Public Protector's office.
