Through the establishment of the directorate, Cyril Ramaphosa has intensified the state’s campaign against corruption and state capture, the presidency says
The National Prosecuting Authority’s new investigative directorate will not only deal with revelations from the commission of inquiry into state capture, but also with offences that arise out of the commissions of inquiry into both the SA Revenue Service and the Public Investment Corporation .
The proclamation, which is expected to be gazetted on Friday, officially establishes the directorate Ramaphosa promised during his state of the nation speech in February. The directorate will reside in the office of the national director of public prosecutions , Shamila Batohi. The directorate will also be able to take on any other serious, high profile or complex corruption cases that are referred to it by the NDPP.The state-capture inquiry, headed by deputy chief justice Raymond Zondo, is hearing allegations of state capture for private interests by, among others, the controversial Gupta family and facilities management company Bosasa. It has until 2020 to complete its work.
