South African prosecutors are nearing a decision on whether to press charges against Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana, who has been accused of sexual assault. The National Prosecuting Authority will hand a docket on its investigation into the allegations to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions on Monday, suggesting a decision on the case is imminent.

That would mean the investor-friendly finance chief will no longer participate in policy making just two months before a key budget update to parliament. It would place pressure on President Cyril Ramaphosa, whose options to find a replacement finance minister within his executive are limited. Once a docket is handed over to the ODPP, a decision on whether to proceed with the case “can be immediate or longer depending what is on hand,” NPA spokeswoman Bulelwa Makeke said by phone.

Charges would have to be far more serious - like kidnapping and torture - for NPA to act ... no wait, thats Ok too, cyril proved 🤣
