# President Cyril Ramaphosa has suspended South Gauteng Director of Public Prosecutions, advocate Andrew Chauke, pending an inquiry into his fitness to hold office. He has been at the centre of allegations for many years that he has acted as a gatekeeper and has weaponised the National Prosecuting Authority to protect the politically powerful and corrupt. Ramaphosa says Chauke’s continued tenure as Director of Public Prosecutions, while facing serious accusations, would negatively affect the reputation of the NPA as a whole.
