Mokgoro Report: When will Ramaphosa act?

The deadline for President Cyril Ramaphosa to decide whether or not to fire suspended prosecutions bosses Nomgcobo Jiba and Lawrence Mrwebi passed at midnight on Thursday night, with no indication from the Presidency as to what Ramaphosa plans to do.

From blatant disregard for the rule of law to dishonesty and borderline perjury, the report is a lesson on how not to be a senior prosecutor.The panel, consisting of retired Constitutional Court judge Yvonne Mokgoro, Advocate Kgomotso Moroka SC and Thenjiwe Vilakazi, had a wide mandate. Readers of the report who have followed the crisis at the NPA over the years will be left with few questions over what happened.

The report was submitted to Ramaphosa on March 31 2019 and leaked to the media a day before Ramaphosa's April deadline by which he must make a decision on Jiba and Mrwebi's fate.Some key findings by Mokgoro against Jiba and Mrwebi are: Furthermore, Mrwebi also displayed a"lack of understanding of the law and legal processes surrounding the [Richard] Mdluli prosecution".

Mokgoro found that the violation of procedures in initiating the prosecution and appointing a team to see the case through, was irregular.Jiba's involvement in the infamous Spy Tapes case was born in controversy. This was part of a broader application by the DA to have the decision not to prosecute Zuma for alleged crimes committed in the arms deal scandal, taken on judicial review. Part of the reason Zuma was not prosecuted was because of the emergence of the"Spy Tapes", which supposedly proved a conspiracy by the Scorpions to use political considerations in deciding when to charge the former president.
