Chauke Cleared by President | Johannesburg News
Description
Andrew Chauke, South Gauteng’s Director of Public Prosecutions, has been officially cleared of all allegations by former NDP Shamila Batohi, with President Ramaphosa confirming in a letter that no credible evidence of misconduct was found. The inquiry, which examined claims Chauke pushed forward with weak racketeering charges against KZN Hawks officials and dropped charges against Richard Mdluli despite strong evidence, concluded Chauke acted lawfully. Batohi had walked out in December citing integrity concerns, but the panel continued, ultimately recommending Chauke remain in his post — a recommendation Ramaphosa accepted, ending the high-stakes saga.
