THE NPA CLARIFIES NOLLE PROSEQUI CERTIFICATES
The NPA takes note of the media reports relating to the summons issued in respect of
President Ramaphosa.
As background, the NPA issued two nolle prosequi certificates in good faith and in compliance
with Section 7 of the Criminal Procedure Act. These certificates were issued in direct relation
to the docket (Pietermaritzburg CAS 309/10/21) which contained statements and affidavits
relating to specific individuals for alleged contravention of Section 41 (6) read with Section
41(7) of the NPA Act.
The nolle certificates apply to any persons who are specifically mentioned in the docket. The
President was not mentioned in any of the affidavits or statements and thus the certificates
were not issued in relation to him.
Any further clarification will be provided in court should the matter be litigated.
