The DA called for the removal of Mkhwebane after the High Court in Pretoria declared her Vrede Dairy farm report unconstitutional and invalid. She had also overstepped her authority when finding that the Reserve Bank mandate should be revised.

At the time, DA Interim Leader, John Steenhuisen argued that this shows that Mkhwebane was incompetent and did not understand the role of her office.

In her response to the Justice Committee of Parliament, Mkhwebane had stated that none of the DA’s complaints can justify her removal.

Steenhuisen says their latest complaint to the Speaker also included new information currently in the public domain; such as a press release by the Public Servants Association (PSA), alleging that  Mkhwebane’s office was making use of the State Security Agency to victimise and harass PSA shop stewards.
