It has been more than 10 months since National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP) Shamila Batohi signalled her intention to request an investigation into the qualifications for office of Johannesburg Chief Prosecutor Andrew Chauke.

However, President Cyril Ramaphosa, the only person with the authority to order such an investigation, has not yet made a decision.

In August last year, Batohi told Chauke she would write to Ramaphosa asking him to suspend him until the investigation was completed – but nothing happened.
