Bongani Bingwa speaks to The Money Show presenter Stephen Grootes about a long-awaited move at the heart of South Africa’s justice system. President Cyril Ramaphosa has suspended South Gauteng Director of Public Prosecutions, Andrew Chauke, after years of mounting pressure and serious allegations of misconduct. In 2023, journalist Karyn Maughan reported that Chauke was finally under scrutiny after more than a decade of concern, particularly for his alleged mishandling of high-profile corruption cases. Almost two years ago, National Director of Public Prosecutions Shamila Batohi wrote to the president, formally requesting an inquiry into his fitness to hold office. So, why has it taken so long for action to be taken? And what exactly is Chauke being investigated for? Stephen Grootes breaks it down and explores what this means for the NPA’s credibility and the broader fight against corruption.
