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, Naidoo said:"We hope that the President will act speedily to assist in the process of renewel at the NPA." He added:"This is just the tip of the iceberg. This is a small part of the problem being fixed in that this is a small symptom of the rot that has been at the NPA but it is not the end of it.
