Without the NPA upholding the rule of law, we are dead in the water | by Yvonne Mokgoro

In a scathing report on the conduct of the two senior NPA officials, former Constitutional Court justice recommends that Nomgcobo Jiba and Lawrence Mrwebi be removed from their positions. These are her concluding remarks.

In the face of South Africa's painful history and its continuing struggle with inequality, it is the rule of law that holds every individual to the same standard and, in so doing, recognises the inherent dignity within every individual. Whether one wields power or is of the most vulnerable, the rule of law guarantees equal treatment. Without it, the vision of a constitutional democracy is dead in the water.

Citizens are right to expect this of the NPA and its members. In turn, the NPA must ensure that it communicates effectively with the public – for it is the public interest which the NPA must act in the name of. This must not be understood to mean that members of the NPA should play to the whims of popular opinion, but rather that they have a duty to perform their work with integrity, conscientiousness and accountability.
