Axed senior prosecutor advocate Nomgcobo Jiba is preparing for a showdown with President Cyril Ramaphosa and she has promised to take him to court for firing her. Jiba was fired along with special director of public prosecutions Lawrence Mrwebi, following a scathing report by retired Constitutional Court Justice Yvonne Mokgoro.Jiba’s lawyer, Zola Majavu, said on Saturday he had not yet received instructions from his client on the court application against Ramaphosa.
National Director of Public Prosecutions Shamila Batohi said this week the decision by Ramaphosa had set the National Prosecuting Authority on a new path.Parliament will have new MPs in the justice committee that oversees the NPA and the Department of Justice and Correctional Services. Jiba said she was taking the decision by Ramaphosa on review and believed the president had overstepped the mark.Ramaphosa had even refused a request by Jiba to remain in the public service and said the report had found that she was dishonest and would not set a good example given this finding.
In his letters to the two, Ramaphosa said based on the findings of the commission the two had lied to him.Opposition parties have welcomed the sacking of the two senior prosecutors, saying this was the beginning of a process to clean up the NPA.
