NPA addressing IDAC’s credibility and leadership: Mothibi
NPA has established an independent IDAC Ombud office to probe complaints of maladministration.
The National Director of Public Prosecutions, Andy Mothibi, is currently addressing the credibility and leadership of the Investigative Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC). This issue arose following a comprehensive institutional review and reset of IDAC cases, coupled with the establishment of an independent Ombud office to investigate complaints of maladministration or abuse of power.
So far, Mothibi's team has reviewed approximately 20 cases on IDAC's records. Mothibi explained, "There's a research project we're engaged in at IDAC, focusing on credibility and leadership. Our acting head is Adv. (Ntuthuzelo) Vanara, a very credible individual." He added, "We've reviewed nearly 20 cases on the IDAC books, yet only about three have been found to have serious issues."
Mothibi highlighted cases involving General (Fannie) Masemola, General (Dumisani) Khumalo, and others, noting that these instances caused significant damage.
