The NPA's Bulelwa Makheke was unable to say how the new investigative directorate would be comprised, saying only that is was still being set up and such details would be revealed in due course.
PRETORIA - While President Cyril Ramaphosa has established an investigative directorate in the office of prosecutions boss Shamiela Batohi, it is unclear how it will be composed or funded.
South Africa last had such capacity in the Scorpions, which was shut down in 2007 following an African National Congress resolution. The Presidency said that the unit will focus on corruption cases, specifically those emanating from the various commissions of inquiry.
