DA to file PAIA application for access to record of decision to drop Jiba charges
18 August 2015
The DA will today file an application in terms of the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) to get access to the record of decision to determine the rationality of dropping the charges against the disgraced deputy National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP), Nomgcobo Jiba.
This decision is questionable given the slew of prima facie evidence against her and her destructive track record at the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).
This is confirmation that President Jacob Zuma dispensed of Mxolisi Nxasana to install a man who has been given a Menzi Simelane-esque mandate to protect President Zuma and his longstanding ally in the NPA, Ms Jiba.
This comes after an announcement made by the head of the NPA, Adv Shaun Abrahams, that the charges of fraud and perjury levelled against Ms Jiba will not be pursued by the NPA. This relates specifically to her handling of the matter of the KZN Hawks boss, Johan Booysen, where she acted with complete impunity and disregard for due process. This resulting in Booysen being needlessly suspended for two years.
