Ramaphosa Shocks Nation: Mothibi, Key Zuma Investigator, Becomes Top Prosecutor

SOUTH AFRICA’S ANTI-CORRUPTION FIGHT JUST GOT SABOTAGED. In a shocking, late-night move, President Cyril Ramaphosa has TOSSED OUT a transparent selection process and installed his own man at the head of the country’s top crime-fighting unit.

This isn’t a normal appointment. It’s a DECLARATION OF WAR on accountability.

Ramaphosa’s own hand-picked panel interviewed six candidates for the job of National Director of Public Prosecutions. The photos and videos from the hearings showed a nation watching, hoping for a real leader. The panel’s final verdict? NONE of them were fit. Not the frontrunner, not the hard-hitting former investigators. NO ONE.

Then, with zero warning, Ramaphosa bypassed them all. He appointed Andy Mothibi, a man who was NEVER even interviewed for the role. Mothibi runs the Special Investigating Unit, the SIU—a unit hailed for its work. Now, he’s being yanked out and replaced by his own deputy.

ASK YOURSELF: Who benefits from this chaos?

The entire “open and transparent” process was a total SHAM. A panel chaired by the Justice Minister wasted everyone’s time. The public saw the candidates—including figures like the controversial Menzi Simelane—grilled over two days. It was all for nothing.

The message is crystal clear: real, independent prosecutors need not apply. The system is being rigged from the top. While Ramaphosa’s statement touts Mothibi’s resume, the brutal truth is hidden in plain sight: a leader who could have truly cleaned house, like Hermione Cronje, was rejected without explanation.

The corrupt are watching and laughing. Their most dangerous enemy—a functioning, fearless NPA—has just been neutered before it could even begin.

This is how a country’s last line of defense is quietly dismantled, one suspicious appointment at a time.
