# Retired Justice Bess Nkabinde has been appointed to chair an inquiry into suspended Gauteng Director of Public Prosecutions, Andrew Chauke’s fitness to hold office. Chauke faces allegations of abusing his prosecutorial powers, including pressing racketeering charges without evidence against former KwaZulu-Natal Hawks boss, Johan Booysen, and withdrawing a murder case against former Crime Intelligence boss Richard Mdluli. President Cyril Ramaphosa’s directive is that Chauke may be permanently removed if he is found guilty of misconduct, incapacity or being no longer a fit and proper person to hold office.
