NPA aims to restore public trust in IDAC: Mothibi
IDAC Head Andrea Johnson resigned from her position in July.
Advocate Andy Mothibi, the National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP), is leading the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in a campaign to rebuild trust in the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC). This effort comes in the wake of testimonies at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, which resulted in the suspension of several IDAC officials and the resignation of its leader, Andrea Johnson.
During a briefing to Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Justice and Constitutional Development, Mothibi shared updates from the NPA’s annual performance report. Among their recent initiatives, the NPA has conducted lifestyle audits, initiated a case audit project, focused on capacity enhancement, and appointed Advocate Ntuthuzelo Vanara as the acting head of IDAC.
Vanara is reportedly making significant progress, with Mothibi stating, "Advocate Vanara has hit the ground running; already we are seeing the green shoots, stability and in fact I indicated to him that we need to see." Since implementing these stability measures, the NPA has received a considerable number of new referrals from the public.
