NPA records reveal that when Nomgcobo Jiba was appointed as a deputy director in 2002, she was neither an advocate nor an attorney.
PRETORIA - The work credentials of deputy prosecutions boss Nomgcobo Jiba have come into sharp focus at the Mokgoro Inquiry with evidence revealing she may not have been suitably qualified to be appointed as a deputy director in 2002.
Retired Constitutional Court Justice Yvonne Mokgoro, who is investigating whether the pair are fit to hold office, is expected to submit her report to the president by the end of next week. Among the evidence are National Prosecuting Authority records which reveal that when Jiba was appointed as a deputy director in 2002, she was neither an advocate nor an attorney as contemplated in the relevant legislation.
