Days of Zondo: Cuffed with cable ties: Payback for Johan Booysen’s dogged pursuance of high-profile cases By Jessica Bezuidenhout JessBezJourn
General, we are coming to arrest you. We’ve been ordered to handcuff you,” a member of a police task force told former Hawks boss, Johan Booysen.
There was the cleaning lady at the Hawks office, unaware of what was going on, his family’s domestic worker at home, as usual offering Booysen’s guests a glass of water until she realised what was going on. Booysen eventually took the decision to charge him on review and succeeded when the High Court found that there was no rational, legal basis for the charges against him.
Nyathi would later leave the NPA for private practice, allegedly because he had been overlooked for a promotion. In two instances, the docket would be taken away from Booysen’s friend and colleague, Sam Madonsela. First, it was sent to the Inspector General where seemingly no work was done on it.
