Chaukes lawyers accuse NPA of removing key documents from dockets

Chauke’s lawyers accuse NPA of removing key documents from dockets


The legal team of suspended South Gauteng Director of Public Prosecutions Advocate Andrew Chauke has accused the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) of removing critical documents from dockets.
The Nkabinde Enquiry is probing Chauke’s fitness to hold office. 
It is currently hearing evidence relating to the cases involving the Cato Manor alleged hit squad.
The unit under the command of former KwaZulu-Natal Hawks head Johan Booysen is accused of killing members of the Kwa-Maphumulo and Kwa Dukuza taxi associations between 2008 and 2012.
Chauke’s attorney, Advocate Tembeka Ngcukaitobi says, “In the middle of the night yesterday, we received Sections b and c of the docket. Now what that shows is that the NPA has always had Section b and Section c of that Umlazi docket, but they withheld it from this panel. Until there was a public complaint yesterday and then it appeared at night yesterday. Now the problem with this is not that unique docket. Across all of these dockets, there are glaring omissions, so someone inside the NPA is removing material inside the dockets before they are sent to this panel.”
