StateCaptureInquiry | Former KZN Hawks head Johan Booysen has slammed the province's controversial public prosecutions director, Moipone Noko.
Booysen said he had received a memorandum from Noko's office after he had made the request. He said the document contained"falsehoods, fabrications and omissions" and that he"took issue" with every point Noko had made.Booysen read his letter to the commission while referencing each point of Noko's memorandum that he had responded to in writing.
Noko had said that there was"no evidence to prosecute any person for any offence". But Booysen argued that there was a prima facie case against both Madhoe and Panday - the case docket, according to him, contained 20 lever arch files, about 200 witness statements and an independent forensic report on the matter.
"There is no evidence to remotely support these claims. Why would [Ngobeni] be forced to resign if she knew evidence against her was contrived?" Booysen told the commission. Booysen said he found it suspicious that the same prosecutors were used to wrongly institute charges against so-called"corruption-busters" like him and former Independent Police Investigative Directorate boss Robert McBride; and drop charges against suspects they were investigating.His testimony will continue on Friday.
