Shamila Batohi Set To Resume Testimony As Nkabinde Inquiry Continues In Pretoria

National Director of Public Prosecutions, Advocate Shamila Batohi, is scheduled to continue her testimony when the Nkabinde Inquiry resumes in Pretoria on Monday.

The inquiry is examining whether suspended South Gauteng Director of Public Prosecutions, Advocate Andrew Chauke, is fit to remain in his position.

Chauke faces serious allegations, including claims that he interfered with critical criminal cases and protected high-profile figures from prosecution.

Justice Nkabinde reminded the team of its responsibility to support the inquiry’s work and avoid unnecessary delays.

“I think you’ve really given so much indulgences because things have not happened the way they ought to have happened.

“So, I think in that spirit that we spoke about in chambers, that let us work towards a common goal. We are here to serve the country, to present evidence and to assist this inquiry.”
