Question NW214 to the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
05 March 2024 - NW214
Mkhwebane, Adv B to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
What are the reasons that the National Prosecuting Authority issued a nolle prosequi on a perjury case opened by Dr R Kasilembo in Woodstock, case number 273/10/2023, a day after it was opened?
Reply:
The correct docket particulars of the perjury case in which Dr Kasilembo is the complainant, is Woodstock CAS 276/10/2023 and not Woodstock CAS 273/10/2023.
No Nolle Prosequi certificate has been issued in this case. The docket has been returned to the police for further investigations to enable the Director of Public Prosecutions for the Western Cape to make an informed decision whether or not to institute a prosecution. Dr Kasilembo was advised that a further communication will be addressed to her regarding the outcome of the investigations.
