Justice and Constitutional Development Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi says it is incumbent upon all South Africans to protect institutions that uphold the rule of law, especially the NPA.

This after she opened a case of fraud, impersonation and obstruction of justice, following a weekend newspaper report purporting she, Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni and President Cyril Ramaphosa we’re conniving with the NPA to have Deputy President Paul Mashatile prosecuted.

Minister Kubayi spoke outside the Brooklyn Police Station in the east of Pretoria.

“I’ve done this because it’s important to protect institutions, that are of democracy but also that are implementing our justice system. One of the critical institutions that must be protected is the NPA. We have seen previously how the issues of state capture have compromised our institutions to a point where there also about to collapse. So, we are one of those that have committed that we rebuild our institutions but we allow them function without fear or favour, so that’s why it’s important for me to open this case because I cannot allow where in the public domain that these institutions are compromised to point where they can’t do their job.”
