Former prosecutor Siphokazi Magangana has been sentenced to seven years in prison by the Roodepoort Regional Court.
Magangana pleaded guilty to corruption and money laundering charges.
In August 2022, he approached a complainant at Clearwater Shopping Mall and offered to secure her a job as a public prosecutor in exchange for R10 000.
At the time, Magangana was employed within the National Prosecuting Authority office in Johannesburg.
Reacting to the judgment, NPA spokesperson Magaboke Mohlatlole says, “Corruption within the criminal justice system undermines the rule of law and erodes public confidence in the integrity of state institutions. The NPA remains committed to ensuring accountability for all officials who abuse positions of trust for personal benefit.”
