Reading Time: < 1 minute

The Mokgoro Enquiry into the fitness to hold office of  two suspended senior NPA advocates, Nomgcobo Jiba and Lawrence Mrwebi will hear arguments from Jiba’s legal counsel on Thursday morning.

On Wednesday, the enquiry adjourned after Jiba’s legal team objected to senior prosecutor, Advocate Jan Ferreira’s anticipated evidence.

They argued his evidence may prejudice their client, whose pending perjury and fraud charges are yet to be ventilated in court.

In 2015, Ferreira drafted a legal opinion which found that Jiba committed perjury when she said under oath that she considered all available evidence when authorising the racketeering charges against former KwaZulu-Natal Hawks boss Johan Booysen.

However, that was overturned by former prosecutions boss Shaun Abrahams.

Judge Yvonne Mokgoro will listen to submissions from both legal teams on Thursday morning.
