More woes for Manyokole

IT never rains but pours for Advocate Mahlomola Manyokole.
The embattled Director General of the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Offences (DCEO) was this week slapped with a fresh suspension, by Prime Minister Moeketsi Majoro, to pave way for a tribunal appointed to inquire into his fitness to remain in office to begin its work.
The suspension came a few hours after High Court judge, Moroke Mokhesi, issued an order declaring that Adv Manyokole’s January 2020 suspension was null and void.
The order was issued after the state applied for clarity and a proper interpretation of last Thursday’s disputed judgement on Adv Manyokole’s suspension. The judgment was not particularly clear on the issue of Adv Manyokole’s suspension. It had mentioned the illegality of his suspension in passing while granting the reliefs that had been sought against him.
