EWN reports that according to the Presidency, President Cyril Ramaphosa was of the view that qualities such as honesty, independence and accountability were lacking in former National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) officials Nomgcobo Jiba and Lawrence Mrwebi.
Ramaphosa, following the recommendations of the Mokgoro Inquiry, dismissed the pair last week. Retired Constitutional Court Justice Yvonne Mokgoro found they were neither fit nor proper to hold their offices. Khusela Diko, the President's spokesperson, indicated that Ramaphosa gave Jiba and Mrwebi the opportunity to challenge the recommendations, but unfortunately “they’ve failed to respond to the substantive matters that have been raised in the report, seeking to argue in litigation on age and the other that she should be moved to another position in the public service.”
