Concerns raised over the role of Gauteng's  Crime Prevention Wardens (CPWs)

Former head of the National Prosecuting Authority Vusi Pikoli has told the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that the independence of the National Prosecuting Authority must be protected, even while maintaining cooperation with the government.

Pikoli also recalled a meeting with several ministers where concerns were raised about prosecutions linked to apartheid-era activities.

Let's briefly listen to the testimony of former head of the National Prosecuting Authority Vusi Pikoli.
