Durban - Advocate Moipone Noko, the Director of Public Prosecutions in KwaZulu-Natal, has left the province after a decade long stint.Bulelwa Makeke, the National Prosecuting Authority’s head of communications, confirmed Noko’s move. She added that Advocate Elaine Zungu has been appointed as acting DPP in KZN.
The accused included billionaire businessman, Gaston Savoi, and former KZN MECs, Mike Mabuyakhulu and Peggy Nkonyeni. On hearing of Noko’s departure, Patel said: “The matter is not something I'd easily forget but time heals. I would have liked to have retired when my time was up and not prematurely. I will leave justice to be delivered by the divine, it’s not for me to decide,” said judge Patel.
He also told the commission that Noko lied when she was interviewed on national TV for the position of NPA head. This position was eventually awarded to Shamila Bathohi. Noko described Booysen as “just another detractor” and it was not the first time she had heard his allegations. She insisted that his was not a matter she started.“It is annoying to see your name tarnished, but when I took an oath of office, I committed to prosecuting without fear, favour or prejudice and I am not moved by the allegations.”“When charges were withdrawn in some matters after prosecutors explained their decision to withdraw in memorandums, I was blamed.
