NPA boss Shamila Batohi said the decision to fire Nomgcobo Jiba and Lawrence Mrwebi came at a time when the country yearned for accountability and a revived commitment to the rule of law.
PRETORIA/CAPE TOWN - Prosecutions boss Shamila Batohi said President Cyril Ramaphosa’s decision to fire advocates Nomgcobo Jiba and Lawrence Mrwebi had ended months of uncertainty at the National Prosecuting Authority .
“It has unburdened the NPA from certain issues that have weighed negatively on the organisation’s credibility and reputation,” said advocate Batohi.The Mokgoro commission found Jiba and Mrwebi’s conduct - as found in several high-profile court cases - had brought the organisation into disrepute. The president’s decision, once confirmed by Parliament, will enable Batohi to rebuild the leadership of the NPA.
