Justice Minister Jeff Radebe on Monday criticised the Ginwala inquiry for its "attack" on new prosecuting head Menzi Simelane and the Public Service Commission (PSC) for failing to allow Simelane to state his case.

Briefing the media, Radebe said the PSC report on Simelane's conduct before the Ginwala inquiry did not provide Simelane with an opportunity to explain or respond to the allegations against him.

The attack by the Ginwala inquiry on Simelane's credibility was also without foundation, Radebe said. - Sapa
