The Democratic Alliance the National Prosecuting Authority will stop at nothing to ensure that Glynnis Breytenbach is prevented from continuing to prosecute high profile cases as regional head of the Specialised Commercial Crimes Unit. 

The DA MP of Justice and Constitutional Development Debbie Schafer said Breytenbach redeployment demands an explanation. 

Schafer says he will be writing to the Portfolio Committee of Justice and Constitutional Development to seek clarity about the move by the National Prosecuting Authority to redeploy prosecutor Glynnis Breytenbach.

On Thursday, the NPA wrote a letter to Breytenbach advising her that she will be moved from the Specialised Commercial Crimes Unit to the office of the acting National Director.

The latest development comes after Breytenbach was acquitted of all charges by an NPA disciplinary hearing.

The main charge against Breytenbach was failing to act impartially when she investigated the Kumba Iron Ore.
