AfriForum does not respect judicial processes – NPA
Pretoria – Following the announcement of AfriForum's intent to privately prosecute Nomgcobo Jiba on charges of fraud and perjury, the National Prosecuting Authority said it was clear that the lobby group had a "flagrant disrespect for due process and judicial processes".
At a media conference in Centurion on Thursday morning, AfriForum, through its private prosecution unit headed by Advocate Gerrie Nel, announced its intentions to bring Jiba to book.
Last year Jiba and her colleague, Lawrence Mrwebi, were struck off the roll of advocates of the General Council from the Bar of South Africa.
News24 reported that this was over their handling of the case against former crime intelligence head Richard Mdluli.
However, the lobby group's intention to prosecute Jiba is in relation to KwaZulu-Natal Hawks head General Johan Booysen.
