This is despite the Johannesburg Society of Advocates (JSA) applying for him to be struck from the roll on the basis that he is unfit to practise.

Last month, the department of Justice announced six candidates to be the new NPA boss. The department said the six shortlisted candidates “met the minimum requirements”. The successful candidate will take over from Shamila Batohi next year.
