Bathabile Dlamini has still not been held accountable for her part in the 2017 SA Social Security Agency debacle, more than two years after a Constitutional Court judgment found that her conduct was “reckless and grossly negligent”.
It also directed that the national director of public prosecutions make a call on whether Dlamini should be prosecuted and charged for perjury for lying under oath. But a more serious matter arising out of the Sassa mess was that Dlamini had possibly perjured herself by lying to the Constitutional Court.
Two months after the court handed down its judgment, in November 2018, the NPA said it had referred the matter to the Hawks to be investigated. It was forwarded to the office of the director of public prosecutions in Gauteng by head office, and was then referred to the Hawks in the province for investigation.
