Mokgoro inquiry: Prosecutors accused of political bias for pursuing certain cases
A senior advocate told the Mokgoro commission of inquiry - which is looking into the fitness of former prosecutions bosses - that prosecutors would be accused of being politically biased whenever they pursued cases against certain politicians.
This was revealed by former senior deputy director of public prosecutions, Chris MacAdam, on Tuesday.
The commission is looking into the fitness of suspended deputy prosecutions boss Nomgcobo Jiba and former special director of public prosecutions Lawrence Mrwebi to hold office.
Inquiry chairperson Justice Yvonne Mokgoro asked MacAdam on Tuesday if he thought prosecutors were faced with political or economic pressure when they made decisions to investigate, or to permit an investigation.
"I certainly have experience of that," he responded.
