President Zuma has a duty to fire Jiba without delay
15 September 2016
The DA welcomes the judgement asserting that the sitting Deputy National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP), Nomgcobo Jiba, is not a fit and proper person to practice as an advocate, much less as one of the South Africa’s top prosecutors.
The North Gauteng High Court today handed down scathing judgement in court action brought by the General Council of the Bar (GCB) striking the embattled DNDPP, Jiba, of the Roll of Advocates for her conduct throughout her checkered tenure at the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).
Specifically, the Court found that Jiba’s conduct in the Mdluli matter “displayed ulterior motive and thus offended against the rule of law and the Constitution. She must be found to be no longer a fit and proper person to remain on the Roll of Advocates.” The GCB previously proclaimed Ms Jiba and her partner-in-crime, Commercial Crimes Head, Lawrence Mwrebi, to be an“embarrassment to the legal profession.”
It must be noted that the DA is equally pleased that beleaguered Commercial Crimes Head, Lawrence Mwrebi, has too met the guillotine and should be hastily discharged from the NPA for his role in aiding and abetting Jiba in her crusade to protect those close to her to the detriment of the law and due process.
