# The MK Party has launched another legal bid against former National Director of Public Prosecutions, Shamila Batohi. It wants the 2019 decision to withdraw racketeering charges against former KwaZulu-Natal Hawks head, Johan Booysen and co-accused Johannes van Tonder set aside. MK Party deputy president, John Hlophe, argues in his affidavit at the High Court in Pretoria, that Batohi based her decision on a panel report, without any independent assessment of the evidential record. He says the National Prosecuting Authority should also not have concluded settlement agreements with the two.
