Chauke Reinstated After Year-Long Probe | Johannesburg News
Description
After a tense year-long suspension, South Gauteng’s Director of Public Prosecutions, Andrew Chauke, has been cleared to return to his post — a move that ends a high-stakes inquiry into allegations he shielded powerful figures from prosecution. Former NPA chief Shamila Batohi had accused him of halting key State Capture cases and mismanaging the office, sparking fears of eroded public trust. The probe, which included testimony from top prosecutors and examined delays in major corruption probes and politically charged prosecutions, ultimately concluded without removing Chauke — despite claims he overstepped authority and acted with bias. His reinstatement marks a dramatic resolution to one of South Africa’s most scrutinized prosecutorial dramas.
