Germany has pledged about R9.5m towards the fight against improper conduct in the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).

The money would go towards the creation of a structure in the office of NPA head Shamila Batohi, where the public could lodge complaints and allegations about improper conduct involving staff.

“The envisaged structure, which is provided for in the NPA Act, will give direct access to her office by members of the public to report any misdemeanour involving members of the NPA. He said these allegations and perceptions of politically motivated changes in leadership and allegations of impropriety against some of the authority's senior leaders led to an exodus of skilled staff, the freezing of new appointments and a virtual end to its professional development and training programmes.Ngwema said when Batohi was appointed in December 2018, she committed to restore the credibility of the NPA and regain the respect the institution once enjoyed.
