Suspended NPA prosecutor loses in court

Jul 18, 2012 | Sapa | 2 comments

A challenge by prosecutor Glynnis Breytenbach against her suspension from the National Prosecuting Authority has failed

Johannesburg Labour Court Judge Hamilton Cele dismissed the application, and said no costs were ordered.

She was suspended as regional head of the specialised commercial crime unit on April 30, for conduct relating to cases allocated to her, the NPA said.

Breytenbach submitted in court papers that the NPA had "ulterior motives" when it suspended her.

Breytenbach's lawyer Andrew Redding said she believed acting National Director of Public Prosecutions Nomgcobo Jiba suspended her in an attempt to protect former crime intelligence head Lieutenant-General Richard Mdluli.

The Directorate of Public Prosecution is obviously habouring facts not disclosed to the public. My concern is the NPA is utterly failing in its duty to deal with high level crime, corruption and corporate malpractice. Thats why so many guilty people are walking the streets and our country rated the 4th unsafest country in the world

She was done in for insurbordination and nothing else. What crime fighter? She is a lazy beetch who just could not find it in her time to do what was requested of her on time, finish and klaar. Mdluli has almost been sorted out, leave him out of your mess woman.
