Batohi confirms Cronje’s departure from NPA’s Investigating Directorate: Advocate Hermione Cronje, head of the prosecuting authority’s investigative arm, has resigned one month before the Zondo commission is due to deliver its final report on state capture
Cronje’s resignation will take effect on 1 March next year.
Ramaphosa established the directorate in 2019 to focus on serious corruption cases and last year signed a proclamation amending regulation 11 of the Zondo commission to allow it to share evidence with the directorate to facilitate the prosecution of state capture cases. Batohi is due to address a media briefing on Monday 6 December, and said she would then give further details on how the prosecuting authority would handle the recruitment of a successor to Cronje.“After a challenging first start-up phase, Adv Cronje will leave the ID well-positioned to deliver on its important mandate. I am confident, given all the groundwork that has been done, that its work will continue unaffected in the coming months,” she said.
