Democratic Alliance DA MP Glynnis Breytenbach says establishing an anti-corruption unit would be an effective way of boosting prosecutions following the National Prosecuting Authoritys NPA loss of high-profile court cases.
The cases include the Nigerian televangelist, Timothy Omotoso and the asbestos extradition ones.
On Tuesday, the High Court found that former Free State Premier Ace Magashule's former personal assistant Moroadi Cholota's extradition from the United States US was unlawful, while Omotoso and two others were acquitted of 32 charges including rape, racketeering and human trafficking last month.
Breytenbach addressed the media at Parliament on the DA's concerns about the performance of the NPA.
She says, "To produce competent, highly skilled people can take up to 20 years. They are winning some cases, but it's the high-profile cases the public have invested in, those cases seem to fail. So support the anti-corruption bill, I truly believe it's the answer to this problem."
