Nomgcobo Jiba slams Ramaphosa's decision to sack her as 'abuse of executive power'.
Ramaphosa's decision will be sent to parliament within two weeks. Parliament will then have 30 days to decide to either uphold his decision or restore Jiba and Mrwebi to their positions.
Jiba lashed out at the president and the Mokgoro inquiry in her statement, saying the decision to sack her was unfair. She said that she stood by her evidence presented to the inquiry and that she intended to show that her actions were all done to advance prosecutorial independence and not undermine it.
"The inquiry’s findings have been most unfair to me. I do not accept them as a final statement on my life and, from today, I will dedicate a significant portion of my remaining life to showing all the black women of South Africa with ambition to become the best in any field that I was a worthy candidate to be a custodian of prosecutorial independence."
Jiba said she was looking forward to Ramaphosa's decision being debated in parliament, where she hoped it and the Mokgoro findings would be found to have been grossly unfair.
