Cape Talk | Jean Redpath speaks to Clarence Ford | The Prosecution Project

Dr Jean Redpath argued that South Africa’s NPA Act is outdated and no longer provides the independence, accountability or capacity needed to tackle corruption and organised crime effectively. She called for transparent, merit-based appointments, greater financial independence for the NPA, improved performance measures beyond conviction rates, and stronger accountability mechanisms. The discussion reinforced the Prosecutions Project’s view that legislative reform is essential to build a modern, fit-for-purpose prosecution service capable of ending impunity.
