Head of the National Prosecuting Authority Shamila Batohi on Friday confirmed her investigators currently can’t access the database.
CAPE TOWN - The justice department said that it is untrue that it lost information used as evidence in the Zondo Commission of Inquiry into state capture, or that it is blocking access to the repository.
Minister Thembi Simelane however said that this will be ironed out once the Investigating Directorate is fully legally compliant. Director General Doc Mashabane said that reports that the storage of this information may be in jeopardy, are untrue."In terms of any information that any law enforcement agencies require, they follow a particular protocol just to make sure we comply with the laws taking into account that's the information of the state."
