The high court in Pretoria’s judgment striking the names of Nomgcobo Jiba and Lawrence Mrwebi from the roll of advocates demonstrated the courts’ determined opposition to corruption in high places‚ Freedom Under Law said on Thursday. The high court in Pretoria on Thursday removed the names of Jiba‚ who is Deputy National Director of Public Prosecutions‚ and Mrwebi‚ head of the Specialised Commercial Crime Unit head‚ from the roll following an application by the General Council of the Bar of South Africa (GCB). The GCB applied for their removal because of scathing criticism in different judgments about Jiba and Mrwebi’s conduct while executing their official duties as well as their fitness for office. One of the cases was the decision to drop a number of charges against suspended police crime intelligence head General Richard Mdluli.Freedom Under Law said the court’s decision vindicated the decision it took some years ago to challenge the unlawful and ostensibly corrupt refusal to prosecute Mdluli.“Our allegations have been upheld and the false attempts at refutation found to be untruthful.”Freedom Under Law said the Democratic Alliance had earlier applied to the Western Cape High Court for an order that President Jacob Zuma suspend Jiba.Zuma’s response had been that the application was premature since he was awaiting judgment in the present case.“Now‚ especially in light of today’s clear and damning findings — and notwithstanding possible applications for leave to appeal and similar delaying tactics — we trust these two will be suspended forthwith and that the President will act swiftly‚” the organisation said in a statement. ..
