Earlier today President Cyril Ramaphosa informed Nomgcobo Jiba and Lawrence Mrwebi that he had accepted the commission’s recommendations and removed the pair from office.
The reports indicate that Bosasa paid Zuma R300,000 every month, while Jiba and Mrwebi pocketed R100,000 and R10,000 respectively for their silence.
This decision follows an opportunity the president had afforded Nomgcobo Jiba & Lawrence Mrwebi to make submissions in August why they should not be suspended pending this enquiry.
The pair submitted their reasons on Friday into why they should not be suspended pending a disciplinary inquiry.
Ramaphosa set this deadline with the intention to open an inquiry to determine whether the two are fit to hold office.
General Council of the Bar chairperson Craig Watt-Pringle says that two High Court judges and two Supreme Court of Appeal judges have found against Jiba and Mrwebi.
Acting Deputy President of the court Judge Jeremiah Shongwe handed down the majority judgment in Bloemfontein earlier on Tuesday.
Nomgcobo Jiba is facing charges of fraud and perjury for the unlawful authorisation of racketeering charges against Johan Booysen.
Johan Booysen says he will consider a private prosecution against Shaun Abrahams if the courts find that the prosecutions boss also unlawfully authorised criminal charges against him.
Former NPA head Mxolisi Nxasana was removed from the NPA in 2015 amid fears that he would reinstate the charges against Zuma.
On Friday, President Zuma said he had decided not to suspend or institute an inquiry into the fitness of the two to hold office.
The party says the decision not to act against the pair is a transparent method of avoiding the core of the problem, saying the president to wait for the courts to do his job.
The Presidency says President Zuma has decided not to take any action against the pair until the court process that’s underway has concluded.
The pair were struck from the roll in September last year for their handling of the fraud and corruption cause against former crime intelligence head Richard Mdluli.
The two were struck from the roll in September 2016 for their handling of the case against crime intelligence boss Richard Mdluli.
Long-time NPA watcher Mandy Wiener says we’re all left a little, or a lot, confused about what exactly the president is up to.
Civil society groups have given Zuma until 4pm this afternoon to provisionally suspend the NPA head and two officials.
The president has given notice of his intention to suspend Nomgcobo Jiba and Lawrence Mrwebi.
