President Cyril Ramaphosa has made four major appointments to the team of Shamila Batohi, the national director of public prosecutions.
The four now complete her full team, and there can be no more excuses about a lack of human resources from the National Prosecuting Authority to see more criminals in orange overalls.
Advocate Anton du Plessis will resign from his job in New York as a top advisor to the UN Security Council to become the fourth national deputy director of prosecutions, while three leading women prosecutors from within the NPA have been promoted into key roles. All four positions take up their positions on 1 March, Ramaphosa announced.

In a statement, Ramaphosa said the appointments reiterated his commitment to rebuild the leadership of the embattled institution with a team of diverse, representative and world-class experts.
“These appointments are essential for the efficient functioning and rebuilding of the NPA as part of the fight against serious crime, including sexual and gender-based crimes and corruption, and as a contribution to deepening the capability of the state.”
