Johannesburg - When confidential National Prosecuting Authority documents were leaked to Bosasa it could have armed the facilities management company with the ammunition needed to fight the state’s case.
The unit’s investigation was concluded in 2009 and the report was handed to the NPA. The Hawks and the NPA took 10 years to charge those implicated in the SIU report. After the report was handed to the NPA, it has come to light through the commission how the head of the NPA at the time, Advocate Menzi Simelane, fought every effort to bring the matter to court.
In another leaked memorandum, Simelane told the then minister of Justice Jeff Radebe that the SIU’s investigation was not with the constitutional mandate, he complained about a possible “witch-hunt” and racism motivation. “I am not aware of any unconstitutionality, the evidence was gathered in terms of the SIU act. It was handled in terms of the proclamation and the SIU act. We obtained evidence legally and we did not act outside the SIU act. It would never be my priority to enter a witch-hunt,” said Oellerman.
