The Law Society of SA has welcomed Parliament's ethics committee's request that the Public Protector consider a probe into Local Government Minister Sicelo Shiceka’s alleged abuse of public money.

The Society says Thuli Madonsela’s office should treat the investigation as urgent, particularly since it is the first time it has had to handle a case against a Cabinet minister.

Shiceka allegedly abused travel and accommodation privileges to the tune of two-and-a-half-million-Rands.
