SA's department of justice (DoJ) has unleashed the country's top legal minds to prosecute state capture crimes.

Legal eagles Tembeka Ngcukaitobi, Wim Trengove, Ngwako Maenetje and Geoff Budlender have been briefed to help with the investigation and prosecution of state capture crimes."Treasury [has given] approval to procure four senior counsel to guide investigations and oversee prosecutions," said DoJ spokesperson Chrispin Phiri. He said each advocate would be paid their going rate but their fees cannot exceed R5m.

The Treasury has also agreed to allocate an additional R102m to the NPA. Of this, the Asset Forfeiture Unit will get R18m to build its capacity - seen as an effort to bolster the recovery of looted funds. Earlier this year, President Cyril Ramaphosa appointed advocate Hermione Cronje to head the investigative directorate of the NPA to focus on state capture crimes.
