The troubled Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) in the North West, Moipone Noko, has with consent from the presidency, officially resigned from office effective from 1 March 2021.
Nokoâs resignation comes after President Cyril Ramaphosa greenlit calls from National DPP, Shamila Batohi, and Justice and Correctional Service Minister, Ronald Lamola, in November 2020 for an inquiry into Nokoâs fitness to hold office.
This came after the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) provincial head sent in a request to step down from her role after she was notified of the possibility of her being suspended from her role pending the outcome of the inquiry into her fitness to hold office.
