Jiba and Mrwebi suspension a victory
25 October 2016
The DA welcomes the Presidents’ notice of intention to suspend Deputy NDPP, Nomgcobo Jiba, and head of the NPA’s commercial crime unit, Lawrence Mrwebi, pending an inquiry into their fitness to hold office.
Although overdue, this intention bodes well for ridding the NPA of those who wish to compromise our nation’s prosecutorial integrity.
In September this year the North Gauteng High Court granted an application by the General Bar Council to have Jiba and Mrwebi removed from the roll of advocates.
This judgement was not handed down lightly and confirms that both of these individuals are not fit head up prosecutions in our country’s courts.
