Bongani Bingwa speaks to Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development, Mamoloko Kubayi, following mounting criticism over President Cyril Ramaphosa’s appointment of a panel tasked with selecting the next head of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA). With current NDPP Shamila Batohi set to step down in January, questions are being raised about the qualifications of those choosing her successor. Critics say the panel lacks sufficient legal experience, undermining confidence in the process. Minister Kubayi, who chairs the panel, pushes back against these claims — but Bongani asks: how can a committee without deep legal expertise be trusted to appoint South Africa’s top prosecutor?
