Court withdraws all charges against Masemola in Medicare24 tender
NPA ordered withdrawal of all the charges saying there was no prospect of a successful prosecution.
The Pretoria Magistrates’ Court has officially dismissed all charges against suspended National Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola in connection with the SAPS-Medicare 24 Tshwane District tender. This decision was made after the National Prosecuting Authority determined there was no realistic chance of a successful prosecution.
Masemola had been suspended following allegations that she did not provide sufficient oversight during the issuance of a multi-million-rand contract to Vusimuzi ‘Cat’ Matlala, believed to be a criminal kingpin. In a statement outside the court, Masemola expressed that the previous months had been challenging, describing the situation as a "tough, painful road."
She emphasized the need for a fair investigation conducted by professionals and cautioned against any interference with the judicial process.
