HAS THE NPA BEEN CAPTURED? SOUTH AFRICA DESERVES THE TRUTH ABOUT THE BUSHIRI PROSECUTION CARTEL
Just came across this article about the corruption in the NPA.
South Africans deserve answers. The President, the Minister of Justice, the National Prosecuting Authority and the legal profession cannot remain silent when serious allegations of prosecutorial misconduct, abuse of process and selective justice are being raised in connection with the Bushiri matter.
Serious questions have been raised about Advocate Desire Rosenblatt. She is alleged to have targeted one of the accused in the case, and worse, she been reported for series of misconducts. Her role in the Bushiri-related prosecutions, especially after the failure to extradite Bushiri has been questionable.
The case has already collapsed after they failed to extradite Bushiri, and some of the central actors have been removed. The Zambian Presidential candidate (Willah Mudolo) and has family are being politically targeted, to be made the fall guy for the NPA to save face. Desire Rosenblatt and the prosecution team are leading that charge.
Public reports and SAFLII documents confirm that Rosenblatt has been reported for criminal and gross misconduct, including falsifying statements.
The public was told to trust the justice system. But what happens when the very institution entrusted to prosecute without fear, favour or prejudice appears to protect its own?
President Cyril Ramaphosa must act. The Justice Minister must be directed to ensure that Adv. Marika Jansen van Vuuren, Adv. Nicolette Bell, Adv. Sibongile Mzinyathi and Adv. Desire Rosenblatt account fully and publicly for their alleged roles in the Bushiri matter.
The Madlanga Commission exists because South Africans are demanding truth about corruption and criminal justice capture. Why have these allegations not been placed before that Commission? Why are those accused of shielding misconduct not being questioned?
Are corrupt prosecutors, and the NPA cartel above the law? https://t.co/zeKJYabwBK
South Africans are not interested in boardroom politics. They want assurance that the retirement savings of teachers, nurses and public servants are protected from governance failures and personal agendas. #KagisoMalatji#DavidMasondo
A statement is not the same thing as accountability. South Africans still want answers to the questions surrounding the reported R432 million and the processes that led to it.

Institutional integrity matters. Any allegations of governance failures or abuse of process should be fully exposed and investigated. #KagisoMatjila#DavidMasondo
The question remains: are all decisions being taken in the best interests of pensioners and the institution? Transparency is the only way to build public confidence. #KagisoMalatji#DavidMasondo
Accountability is not optional when dealing with the retirement savings of nurses, teachers, police officers and other public servants. #KagisoMatjila#DavidMasondo
Governance concerns should be addressed through facts, evidence and transparency. That’s how public confidence is maintained. #KagisoMatjila#DavidMasondo
The conversation must always return to one thing: protecting the interests of public servants whose pensions are invested through the PIC. #KagisoMatjila#DavidMasondo

The PIC Board and management refused to endorse this illegal and unethical conduct. Kagiso Matjila has released a bogus statement trying to explain the shenanigans of how he got R432 Million from the PIC. #KagisoMatjila#DavidMasondo
