Speaking to journalists after a closed-door session, Minister Ziyambi said the board was now in a position to take control of the situation and steer the NPA in the right direction.

“What we spoke about is that they have a lot of work to do, and the board is supposed to take care of the human resources issues to ensure that all outstanding issues, be it in terms of disciplinary issues or employment issues, are addressed.

“We have a lot of vacancies, and the Prosecutor General as Chair now has to steer the ship; she now has a board; and we can now have our National Prosecuting Authority functioning effectively.”
