Ramaphosa authorises release of Nkabinde Enquiry’s final report
The enquiry probed South Gauteng DPP Adv Andrew Chauke's fitness to hold office
President Cyril Ramaphosa has given the go-ahead for the Nkabinde Enquiry's final report to be made public. The report vindicates South Gauteng Director of Public Prosecutions, Advocate Andrew Chauke. The enquiry examined Chauke's suitability to remain in his position. He was placed on suspension in July of last year following controversial prosecutorial decisions in two high-profile cases.
The allegations centered on the Cato Manor Death Squad matter and the Richard Mdluli murder case. Both incidents questioned the integrity of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA). The enquiry, chaired by Retired Constitutional Court Justice Bess Nkabinde, found no evidence to suggest Chauke had acted improperly. Vincent Magwenya, a presidential spokesperson, stated that the inquiry's purpose was to ascertain whether Advocate Chauke was fit and proper to continue serving in his role. The report was officially released to the public by the Presidency on August 27, 2026.
