The General Council of the Bar of South Africa wants the former prosecutions boss and her colleague, Lawrence Mrwebi, struck from the roll of advocates.
Sacked advocate Nomgcobo Jiba who pleaded to remain employed – even as a sweeper – will find out on Thursday if her Constitutional Court appeal to keep her law profession accreditation has been successful.
The GCB initially succeeded in its striking off application before the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria, but lost when the axed advocates took the matter to the Supreme Court of Appeal . The court case came following an application of the GCB in which it argued that the two should be struck off the roll of advocates for the “illegal” withdrawal of criminal charges against former crime intelligence boss Richard Mdluli.
The GCB also argued that Jiba, who was then acting national director of public prosecutions , failed to review his decision.
