Cronje previously worked for the NPA and was involved in the establishment of the Asset Forfeiture Unit during the tenure of former NDPP, Bulelani Ngcuka.
Earlier this year, the ID took former Gupta associate Iqbal Sharma and various others to court over a R24.9-million alleged scam in a case that is being described as the precursor to the new regime NPA’s Estina prosecution. This is also the ID’s maiden strike against four members of the Gupta family.
One insider said it was clear that Cronje had become “fed up” of fighting. Her main gripe was a lack of competence and the resistance to bring in the right people. Where is Crime Intelligence, State Security or International Relations in the quest to bring the Guptas to book? But, for a large part, the ID – in just two and a half years of existence – also battled a regular exodus of staff, including those who had been brought in on secondment.
