“She wants to be able to carry on with her life and look after her children.”
Former prosecutions boss Nomgcobo Jiba, who abandoned her legal bid in November to challenge her dismissal by President Cyril Ramaphosa, is set to return to the courtroom — as a pupil advocate.
Pabasa was founded just over a year ago and lists some of its key objectives as being the empowerment of black women advocates. Jiba has consistently maintained that she was targeted by the General Council of the Bar because of her race and gender — an accusation the GCB has vehemently denied. “She wants to be able to carry on with her life and look after her children. There is no reason she should not be able to do so,” he said.In November, Parliament's spokesperson, Moloto Mothapo, confirmed that Jiba wrote to National Assembly speaker Thandi Modise, stating that she would not be seeking restoration by parliament to her position in the National Prosecuting Authority .
