The race to find the country’s next National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP) is facing a legal hurdle.
This as the department of Justice and Constitutional Development has received an urgent application filed by B Xulu and Partners Inc, seeking to interdict the appointment of the National Director of Public Prosecutions.
The said South African law firm is led by attorney Barnabas Xulu, who filed an objection against the candidacy of former inaugural IDAC, Investigating Directorate Head, Advocate Hermione Cronje during the interviews which were held by the Advisory Panel earlier this month as the NPA top job is expected to be vacant at the end of January next year.
The department of Justice and Constitutional Development intends to oppose the application.
Terrence Manase Ministry of justice & Constitutional Development Spokesperson says Department is to oppose urgent interdict on NDP appointment.
“The department has received an urgent application seeking to interdict the appointment of the National Director of Public Prosecutions. The papers are under consideration, and in line with court rules, the department intends to oppose the application on the basis that it does not meet the requirements for urgency and is premature, as the president is still considering the advisory panel’s report, which assessed all inputs in respect of all candidates interviewed.”
