Another legal hurdle has emerged in the process to appoint South Africa's next National Director of Public Prosecutions. An advisory panel and President Cyril Ramaphosa have until today to file court papers opposing an urgent High Court application seeking to halt the appointment.  Law firm B Xulu and Partners Incorporated firm argues the selection process was unlawful, biased and lacked transparency, particularly in its handling of objections against candidate Advocate Hermione Cronje. Government has since confirmed it will oppose the application.  adding that it does not meet the requirements for urgency and is premature, as President Ramaphosa is still considering the report submitted by the panel. Bongiwe Zwane spoke to legal analyst, Melusi Xulu.
