Parliament halts process over Jiba, Mrwebi's positions after legal action

CAPE TOWN - Parliament’s justice committees on Tuesday decided to hold off on considering whether or not President Cyril Ramaphosa was correct to fire former National Prosecuting Authority officials Nomgcobo Jiba and Lawrence Mrwebi.

Her urgent court bid stayed Parliament’s hand in considering whether she and Mrwebi should be returned to office or remain sacked. Both the National Assembly and the National Council of Provinces' justice committees met on Tuesday to begin that process hoping to conclude by next week. But legal advisers informed them of Jiba’s urgent court bid and they decided to hold off.
