Batohi said each member was chosen for their seniority and expertise in organised crime and racketeering, noting that Mamabolo had served on the NPA\u2019s racketeering desk and was included specifically because of \u201chis expertise in the racketeering matters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She confirmed that the prior team of prosecutors assembled to deal with litigation brought by former KZN Hawks head Major-General Johan Booysen had been disbanded once she assumed office, stating that those prosecutors had been returned to their respective provincial offices.<\/p>\n<p>Batohi summarised the findings of the panel, saying it concluded that the racketeering authorisations issued by former acting NDPP Nomgcobo Jiba and later by former NDPP Shaun Abrahams were invalid.<\/p>\n<p>The panel further recommended that the racketeering charges against all accused persons be withdrawn.<\/p>\n<p>Asked whether she implemented these recommendations, Batohi said she did. She withdrew the NPA\u2019s opposition to Booysen\u2019s review application, withdrew the authorisations themselves, and wrote to the acting DPP in KwaZulu-Natal, Advocate Elaine Zungu, instructing her to reassess the remaining dockets and take a prosecutorial decision on each.<\/p>\n<p>In that letter, Batohi informed Zungu that the panel had found \u201cinsufficient evidence against General Booysen in respect of other charges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Mahlomanyane asked why she singled Booysen out, she said that she was \u201cnot sure,\u201d but thought it \u201cmay have been because he had brought the review application.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Batohi said she was satisfied that she could rely on the panel\u2019s recommendations, explaining that the report and its supporting documents, combined with her confidence in \u201cthe ability and expertise of the panel,\u201d assured her that the recommendations were sound.<\/p>\n<p>She stated that the KwaZulu-Natal DPP later declined to prosecute in all but one matter, and that the sole case that went to trial resulted in an acquittal.<\/p>\n<p>Turning to allegations against Johannesburg DPP Andrew Chauke, Batohi said the complaint against him was that he \u201cassumed a de facto role of the DPP in the prosecution of alleged crimes committed in KwaZulu-Natal over which he had no jurisdiction,\u201d thereby undermining the authority of the acting DPPs in that province.<\/p>\n<p>She said Chauke had settled the affidavit of Advocate Jiba in related litigation, and that its allegations \u201cwere found to be false,\u201d making him \u201cparty to these false allegations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Chauke later described himself in a submission to the Zondo Commission as merely a \u201cteam coordinator,\u201d Batohi told the inquiry that the evidence would show he had instead acted as \u201cthe de facto DPP in this matter, without the legal authority.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She added that the documentation demonstrated he, rather than the KwaZulu-Natal DPP, had effectively taken charge of the prosecution team assembled to pursue the racketeering case against members of the Cato Manor unit.<\/p>\n<p>hope.ntanzi@iol.co.za<\/p>\n<p><strong> Politics&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP) Shamila Batohi has told the Nkabinde Inquiry that a panel she appointed to review racketeering authorisations in the KwaZulu-Natal \u201cCato Manor\u201d matter found those authorisations to be invalid.&nbsp; She said she acted on the panel\u2019s recommendations only after satisfying herself that their work was thorough and reliable.
