# The DA says restoring the National Prosecuting Authority’s capacity to send criminals to jail is central to making South Africa safe for its citizens and eradicating gender-based violence. Earlier this week, the Eastern Cape High Court ruled that the NPA is not entitled to clarification on the court’s acquittal of Nigerian televangelist Timothy Omotoso on charges of rape. The DA says this will hamper the NPA’s case in the Supreme Court of Appeal, and may lead to yet another resounding loss in the fight against gender-based violence.
DA says the derailed Omotoso prosecution demands a new commitment to NPA reform
