JOHANNESBURG - Parliament has agreed to hold off on considering President Cyril Ramaphosa’s decision to remove Advocate Nomgcobo Jiba as deputy national director of public prosecutions until September when the Western Cape High Court would hear argument as to why she should be reinstated.
The matter was to have been heard in the Western Cape High Court on Wednesday, but there was no hearing. That is when the first part would be heard of Jiba’s two-pronged court bid to have her axing and the report of the Mokgoro Inquiry reviewed and set aside. In the other part of her application, she is seeking a review of Ramaphosa’s decision to remove her from the National Prosecuting Authority and to set aside the findings of the Mokgoro Inquiry, which found she was not fit for office.
