President Cyril Ramaphosa has defended his decision to appoint Andy Mothibi as the next National Director of Public Prosecutions . The appointment will take effect on February 1, as the tenure of the current head, Shamila Batohi, comes to an end.
Ramaphosa has appointed Mothibi despite the Advisory Panel, which interviewed six candidates for the position, indicating in its report that none was suitable.
He is adamant that Mothibi has distinguished himself as an outstanding head of the Special Investigating Unit.
