ILL-INFORMED COPE ATTACK ON ADV. JIBA’S INTEGRITY
11 June 2015
The Higher Education Transformation Network (HETN) hereby strongly condemns the ill-informed attack perpetrated by Dennis Bloem of the Congress of the People (COPE) on the integrity of Advocate Nomgcobo Jiba. The ill-informed rantings for the suspension of Deputy National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP), Adv. Jiba should not only be rejected based on ill-information but must also be frowned upon due to the clear naivety and Machiavellian intentions behind such calls.
Contrary to popular dogma propagated by the DA and COPE as well as the racist General Council of the Bar (GCB), Adv. Jiba must be commended for her firm resolute defence of the rule of law and integrity of the SA prosecutions machinery.
On the contrary, it is former NDPP Mxolisi Nxasana who deserves to be criminally charged for multiple alleged crimes including defeating the ends of justice, wreaking institutional havoc and subjecting the state’s crime investigations and prosecutions machinery to potential external control by hostile interests and forces. The erudite Bloem neglects to observe the rules of natural justice including the fact that Adv. Jiba is innocent until proven guilty by a duly constituted court of law.
We believe that the merits of the cases involving Mr Nxasana need to be subjected for consideration by a court of law and that Mxolisi Nxasana and his ally, Democratic Alliance MP, Glynnis Breytenbach should have their day in court on allegations of corruption and defeating the ends of justice and of amongst others:-
