The NPA continues to engage the Executive on the Zondo digital lab

14 August 2024

The National Prosecuting Authority wishes to state that it continues to engage the executive on the Zondo Commission digital lab contrary to what is stated in the article on news24

published today 14 August 2024 titled “Justice Ministry blocks, bungles NPA access to Zondo database”.

The NPA expressed that lack of access to the digital lab hampers the ability of the NPA’s Investigating Directorate in dealing with state capture cases.

However, the issue of the access to the Zondo Commission digital lab is primarily a technical one, being handled between the NPA and Justice Department officials. The previous and current Ministers of Justice and Constitutional Development have been engaged and committed to attend to it expeditiously.
