Justice minister pledges support to get the underfunded, understaffed prosecuting authority moving

The role of the National Prosecuting Authority is not something that is subject to his feelings, but comes from the constitution, according to new justice minister Ronald Lamola.

Lamola’s stance on the independence of the NPA is important, given that the prosecuting authority has for years been seen to be open to political abuse. Ramaphosa on Thursday said measures aimed at strengthening the NPA, the Special Investigating Unit , the SA Revenue Service and state security were achieving important results.

Lamola said the department is giving the NPA support to mitigate the budgetary constraints it faces, including “huge vacancy rates”, and ensuring that the prosecuting authority functions effectively without having to wait for the next budget cycle.In his address, Ramaphosa also said the new SIU special tribunal, which he announced in February, is expected to start its work within the next few months.
