The Pretoria High Court has ruled that the golden handshake given to former national director of public prosecutions Mxolisi Nxasana was unlawful.
Corruption Watch had approached the court‚ asking for a settlement that was reached between Nxasana and the National Prosecuting Authority to be reviewed.
The court also ruled that President Jacob Zuma‚ who is also facing possible charges‚ may not appoint the next director of public prosecutions as he is conflicted. Deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa should decide who should fill the post‚ the court ordered.
