The Western Cape Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Adv Shareen Riley testifies before the Nkabinde Enquiry in Pretoria on April 9, 2026.
The Western Cape Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Adv Shareen Riley is expected to continue to testify before the Nkabinde Enquiry in Pretoria.
On Thursday, she said that the former National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP) Adv Shamila Batohi has relied on the panel’s report to withdraw racketeering charges against former KwaZulu-Natal Hawks head Johan Booysen.
Riley was part of the team that had compiled the report based on racketeering and murder charges against members of Booysen’s Cato Manor unit.
The enquiry is probing the suspended South Gauteng Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Adv Andrew Chauke’s fitness to hold office.
Riley exchanged with the Enquiry’s Chairperson Justice Bess Nkabinde on Thursday.
Nkabinde asked, “Madam, any reader who would have come across your report and read that report would not have been apprised of the true reflection of the evidence in the dockets because this was just a cryptic summary of the evidence in the dockets. Am I correct?”
Riley replied, ” In the dockets, we had to analyse to get to whether the authorisations were validly granted and I agree that we did not, whoever’s going to read it is not going to find a blow-by-blow account of each and every docket or the evidence in that docket.”
