THE director general of the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Offences (DCEO), Advocate Mahlomola Manyokole, is off the hook after Law and Justice Minister Professor Nqosa Mahao abandoned his quest to oust him from office.
The two were expected to fight it out on Tuesday in a potentially bruising legal battle after Adv Manyokole filed an urgent High Court application to stop Prof Mahao from advising Prime Minister Moeketsi Majoro to suspend him pending dismissal.
He filed the court papers last Friday shortly after receiving a letter from Prof Mahao demanding that he “show cause” why he should not be suspended pending the institution of a tribunal to probe his fitness to remain in office. He had been given up to Monday 14 December 2020 to respond but he opted to pre-empt any action against him by seeking a High Court interdict.

THE Director General of the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Offences (DCEO), Mahlomola Manyokole, has sensationally accused Prime Minister Moeketsi Majoro and Law and Justice Minister Professor Nqosa Mahao of seeking to oust him to protect “corrupt” government officials and others from being investigated and prosecuted.
Adv Manyokole makes his damning allegations against prime minister Majoro and minister Mahao in court papers in which he seeks to interdict the moves to suspend him pending firing. He filed the court papers on Friday shortly after receiving a “show cause” notice from Prof Mahao why he should not be suspended
