A report by former judge of the constitutional court Yvonne Mokgoro recommends that two senior officials at the National Prosecuting Authority, Nomgcobo Jiba and Lawrence Mrwebi, be removed from their positions. Follow running analysis from our specialist reporters here.

Leader of the United Democratic Movement Bantu Holomisa says he welcomes this decision by Justice Mokgoro, saying,"it has been a controversial matter and they were given enough time to put forward their case even before this inquiry started."

"That Mrwebi does not find it concerning that suspects were sending representations to him and requesting him to order that investigations be stopped presents a serious problem. The problem is compounded by the fact he kept all this to himself and did not communicate it to Mzinyathi, Breytenbach or Roelofse who were also involved in the case.”

And later: “Jiba had a duty to safeguard the image of the NPA as an institution and to mitigate negative perceptions relating to its independence. These perceptions are indeed established in the judgment itself which points to the fact that, through its conduct in the course of litigation, the office of the NDPP had damaged its esteem in the eyes of the citizenry.

Speaking to News24, Breytenbach said:"Justice Mokgoro has done a magnificent job of summarising just how low Jiba and Mrwebi stooped and how they enabled the magnitude of state capture by allowing people to operate in a space free of consequences in the knoweldge that they too would be free of consequences.

The politicians allow the increase in crime so the police do not have either the time or the resources to investigate them...
