It appears to be the end of the road for advocates Nomgcobo Jiba and Lawrence Mrwebi, given the finding by retired Constitutional Court Justice Yvonne Mokgoro that the pair is neither fit nor proper to hold their respective offices within the NPA.
It appears to be the end of the road for advocates Nomgcobo Jiba and Lawrence Mrwebi, given the finding by retired Constitutional Court Justice Yvonne Mokgoro that the pair is neither fit nor proper to hold their respective offices within the National Prosecuting Authority ,Mokgoro led an inquiry into Jiba and Mrwebi.
In a letter to Jiba and Mrwebi, Ramaphosa previously said:"I have taken into account the serious nature of allegations that you are unfit to be in so high an office, where the work of our criminal justice system is central to the critical and pressing matter of all prosecutions, especially prosecution of corruption cases and safeguard of our public purse.
"You hold a senior position with influence over a large swathe of the NPA . It is the interest of the NPA's image as a whole that I consider here, and of the integrity of an enquiry that must result in the clearest and most convincing conclusions about the integrity, and sound leadership of the NPA."
Jiba and Mrwebi were earlier told to make representations to Ramaphosa in response to the report by April 16., the report's key findings are compromised integrity; lack of leadership; dishonesty; and a failure to maintain high standard of professional ethics, accountability and transparency. "Jiba and Mrwebi have been involved in litigation in both their personal and official capacities over the years," said Mokgoro in the report."They have, however, failed to introspect and reflect on the issues which have beset the NPA with their involvement, as reflected in this report," as quoted by EWN.
