The Congress of the People has described the country’s criminal justice system as scandalous and in chaos.

This follows several incidents occurring in the country which include the disappearance Deputy Head of Public Prosecutions Nomgcobo Jiba and the alleged fight between National Police Commissioner Riah Phiyega and National Director of Public Prosecutions Mxolisi Nxasana.

Cope Spokesperson Dennis Bloem said these situations are threatening to turn our country into a banana republic, where rule of law will cease to exist.

Bloem said this is totally out of order and we want to condemn that.

Bloem said the Presidents name is constantly coming up in all this controversy in government but we really want to call on the President if those allegations are true.

“He must put the country first and not his own personal interest” Bloem added.
