The embattled Deputy National
Director of Public Prosecutions, Nongcobo Jiba has finally filed her answering
affidavit. The application was submitted on Wednesday afternoon in the Western
Cape High Court. The Democratic Alliance says it would like to see her
suspended.
“She has always acted in good faith and
that criticism by a court does not necessarily entail that a person should be
disciplined and suspended.” The DA’s Samkelo Magobozi said.
He added that “She makes these assertions
devoid of an iota of evidence to substitute her difference of opinion with the
courts indictment of her conduct. She also suggests that the court had never
made findings against her personally but only against her office, and she had
relied on the advice of others. Not only is this a blatant attempt to deflect
responsibility. An indictment of her poverty of leadership skills and integrity
but it is also disingenuous.”
