FXI Waits for Pikoli Submission
The Freedom of Expression Institute (FXI) has still not been able to see the justice department's submissions to the 2008 Ginwala Inquiry, which it says it needs to assess the fitness of Menzi Simelane, who was director-general of the department and is now public prosecutions head.
In a press statement, the FXI says It has been told the report contains information which could cause prejudice to security in South Africa - a decision it intends appealing.
The inquiry came about when former National Director of Public Prosecutions, Vusi Pikoli, was suspended by former president Thabo Mbeki for not backing down on the prosecution of former national police commissioner Jackie Selebi.
