National Director of Public Prosecutions, Advocate Shamila Batohi, says she does not feel supported by Parliament's Justice and Constitutional Development, Portfolio Committee.
Batohi was speaking at an Institute for Security Studies seminar in Cape Town on Tuesday, under the theme "Driving Justice, future proofing the National Prosecuting Authority" where the independence of the institution was in the spotlight.
Batohi has repeatedly emphasised the independence of the National Prosecuting Authority.
She was appointed to head the NPA in 2018 by President Cyril Ramaphosa and her term office will end in 2026.
She is the first woman to be appointed permanently as NDPP.
For reaction to this, we are joined virtually by the chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Justice and Constitutional Development, Xola Nqola.
