Johannesburg - Embattled National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP) Menzi Simelane has been removed from the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), according to a report on Wednesday.
NPA spokesman Bulelwa Makeke told The Times newspaper “he no longer works for the NPA - in any capacity”, without going into further details.
In October, the Constitutional Court confirmed a Supreme Court of Appeal ruling in favour of the Democratic Alliance that President Jacob Zuma's decision to appoint Simelane as NDPP was invalid.
After the ruling, Nomgcobo Jiba was appointed acting NDPP, but no further decision on Simelane's position was made public. - Sapa
