EXIT INTERVIEW SHOCKER: Top Prosecutor Declares VICTORY While Justice System BURNS
Outgoing NPA chief Shamila Batohi delivered a stunning final act. In a dramatic farewell, she claimed to leave a “stronger, more resilient” prosecuting authority. But her words CRASH against the brutal reality faced by millions of South Africans demanding justice.
LOOK at the evidence she herself presented. The long-awaited Transnet corruption case—involving former minister Malusi Gigaba and other big names—has just been postponed AGAIN. Billions stolen. No orange overalls. Batohi ADMITS the public is “understandably frustrated by the slow pace.” Yet she paints a picture of triumph.
Who benefits from this narrative? A political establishment desperate for a win. Who stays silent? The victims of state capture who watch as KEY GUPTA LIEUTENANTS still walk free, their day in court perpetually around the corner. Batohi points to “marginal progress” as if it’s enough. IT IS NOT.
She boasts of recovered funds and conviction rates. But this is a distraction. The real story is the UNFINISHED WAR on the corruption that bled this country dry. The systems remain fragile, the delays are weaponized, and the powerful CONTINUE TO EVADE ACCOUNTABILITY behind a fog of legal technicalities and endless postponements.
Her final performance was a masterclass in spin: celebrating a rebuilt institution while the very people who destroyed it are still enjoying their loot. The legacy she leaves is not of strength, but of a justice system forever playing catch-up with criminals in suits.
They are counting on you getting used to it.
