Mr Speaker, as indicated in my reply, there is one NDPP and there is no doubt that it is a very important position. But, firstly, in the structure of the National Prosecution Authority there are four national deputy directors of prosecutions, nine provincial directors of public prosecutions and 3 028 prosecutors. The NPA does not consist of the National Director of Public Prosecutions alone.
Secondly, I think that Adv Jiba as an acting National Director of Public Prosecutions has been conducting the affairs of the National Prosecuting Authority strictly in terms of the Constitution and the law. In fact, the NPA is, far from being in any crisis, making a valuable contribution towards our fight against crime and corruption and ensuring that in South Africa all are safe and feel safe. Thank you. [Applause.]
