The next two years are going to be crucial for the rule of law: Prof. Lukas Muntingh

The National Director of Public Prosecutions Shamila Batohi says the next two years are going to be crucial for the rule of law in South Africa. She made this statement to Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Justice and Correctional Services in October. During his address to the nation on the recommendations of the State Capture Report, President Cyril Ramaphosa also outlined the importance of the NPA in enhancing government’s efforts to clamp down on crime and corruption. While Batohi made a commitment to South Africa that impunity from crime is no longer a given in the country, one analyst weighs in on this massive task ahead for the entity.
