TimesLIVE reported on Monday that Ramaphosa had written to the leaders of political parties informing them of his intention to appoint Ngcukaitobi on September 22.
“Advocate Ngcukaitobi has been practising since 2010 and was conferred with senior counsel status in 2020,” said the letter, adding that the replacement of Ms Tshepe was “occasioned by her appointment as a competition commissioner effective from September 2022.”
