The panel chaired by retired Constitutional Court Justice Yvonne Mokgoro has found that Nomgcobo Jiba “allowed, and in fact enabled, the independence of the NPA to be compromised” in its prosecution of retired KZN Hawks head Johan Booysen.
The panel of three was appointed by President Cyril Ramaphosa to look into the fitness for their posts at the NPA. In a detailed report, the panel found Jiba and Mrwebi unfit on a number of grounds.He has already given the pair an opportunity to make submissions on the report and it is understood he will make an announcement of his decision imminently. It will then be for Parliament to decide whether to restore them to office.
Jiba had told Ramaphosa that she brought in an outside team because the acting head of the KZN office,, had “pleaded” for this. But after Mlotshwa gave evidence before Mokgoro’s panel, she said she had done this because the Independent Police Investigative Directorate had asked for it. When it came to litigation over the decision to withdraw corruption charges against former Crime Intelligence head Richard Mdluli, the panel found that Jiba’s approach to the litigation was “misleading and in following that approach, she compromised her integrity and consequently cannot be entrusted with the responsibilities of the office that she holds”.
