Batohi refuses to return to Nkabinde Inquiry, citing unfair process

# The former National Director of Public Prosecutions, Shamila Batohi, has withdrawn from the Nkabinde Inquiry. She submitted a statement to the commission today, saying she would not continue her testimony, after the panel refused her request to consult her legal team. The inquiry is probing suspended South Gauteng Director of Public Prosecutions Andrew Chauke’s role in cases linked to the Cato Manor Organised Crime Unit, and decisions involving Richard Mdluli. Batohi’s refusal came as today’s proceeding were delayed by an electric fault.
