Former deputy director of public prosecutions Nomgcobo Jiba has hit back at President Cyril Ramaphosa and the Mokgoro inquiry, saying the inquiry’s report contained “numerous elementary but gross errors of judgment”.
Former deputy director of public prosecutions Nomgcobo Jiba has hit back at President Cyril Ramaphosa and the Mokgoro inquiry into her fitness for office, saying the inquiry’s report contained “numerous elementary but gross errors of judgment”.
Later in her statement, she said she was raising “these preliminary legal points to highlight my intention to clear my name and the legacy of my professional commitment as a prosecutor of over 27 years”. Booysen is expected to stand trial for the killings - along with a number of co-accused - in October. However a charge of racketeering - authorised by Jiba - was set aside by the high court as irrational, because the documents upon which Jiba said she had based her decision did not justify a racketeering charge.
“Whatever the Enquiry and the President’s conclusions are on my decision regarding Booysen, there are over twenty families in Cato Manor whose children were gunned down in police raids that must still be explained to the public through our court system. The blood of those killed in these raids will continue to seek justice until Booysen takes the stand to explain his role.”
