The new head of the NPA, Hermione Cronje, says the ‘foot solders of corruption’, will be dealt with, not just those at the top
Those who orchestrated and benefited from the looting of state coffers, and not just the “foot soldiers of corruption”, will face the might of the National Prosecuting Authority’s investigating directorate, the unit’s newly appointed director Hermione Cronje said on Friday.
The investigating directorate, which gives the NPA extra teeth, will focus on complex and high-profile corruption cases, some of which have arisen out of the various commissions of inquiry, such as those into state capture, Sars, and the Public Investment Corporation . Cronje, whose appointment has been lauded, said the directorate will only take a limited number of cases that will be “very high impact”.
She said the directorate will focus on restoring the integrity of the government and of the criminal justice system. It will broadly focus on three areas: corruption in the security sector; corruption in state-owned enterprises ; and other high-level and private-sector corruption.
