The recusal application brought before the Khampepe commission by the National Prosecuting Authority NPA and the department of justice DOJ against Adv Ishmael Semenya has been dismissed.
Semenya is the chief evidence leader in the judicial commission of inquiry that is investigating allegations of interventions to stop the investigation or prosecution of Truth and Reconciliation Commission TRC cases.
The applicants had argued that Semenya was conflicted due to his role in advising on the NPAs 2005 TRC prosecution policy, a policy later declared unconstitutional for creating backdoor amnesties.
