Nkabinde Enquiry concludes public hearings


The Nkabinde Enquiry, established by President Cyril Ramaphosa to investigate the fitness of South Gauteng Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Advocate Andrew Chauk to hold office, has confirmed that all public hearings have been concluded.

It says the final written submissions from both the evidence leaders and Chauke’s legal representatives were received almost a week ago.

Last month, former National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) Head Adv Shamila Batohi formally declined to continue giving evidence.

Batohi said her decision to stop testifying was considered and informed after significant thought and reflection.

The President set June 30 as the final deadline for the submission of the inquiry’s report.
