National Prosecuting Authority

Masemola was placed on a precautionary susp- suspension after his arrest in connection with the Medique 24 corruption case.

The charges against Masemola has been withdrawn by the National Prosecuting Authority.

Presidential spokesperson, Vincent Magwenya, says Masemola will resume his duties on Monday.

President Ramaphosa welcomes the National Police Commissioner on his return to his full duties and expresses his appreciation to Lieutenant General Polent Dumpane, who served with distinction as acting National Police Commissioner in the interim.

The March and March movement says it has learned that its leader Jacinta Ngobeza Zuma and the SA First Forum acting CEO Golani Zuma will be arrested before Friday.

The movement claims the arrest warrant issued by the NPA is politically motivated and aimed at causing unrest ahead of the November local government elections.

It has called on the president, Cyril Ramaphosa, to distance himself from what it terms political interference.

The NPA has yet to comment on the allegations.

For more, we're joined on the line by the March and March Movement national spokesperson, Sandile Dube.

A very good morning to you and welcome.

Good morning, Elvis, and good morning to your listeners.

Can you tell us, Mr. Dube, what specific information or credible evidence does the March on March movement possess that confirms that an arrest warrant has actually been signed and issued by the NPA for the arrest of Jacinta Zuma as well as Tolani Zuma before Friday?

In fact, in that phone call, he names all sorts of people, the likes of Firoz Kahn, former, uh, deputy head of military intelligence.

He also names Shamila Batohi, former head of the NPA.

Who, who-

He-

So coming up next, I'm gonna tell you the insanity that Serge Kabongwe claimed, because he claimed that he and Shadrack Sibiya tried to shake down Hlangwani Morgan Mamela for money, which is a massive bomber.

And then the layers coming out of that, he cited Shamila Batohi's name, ex-head of the n- uh, of the NPA.

He cited a bunch of different powerful people.

We're gonna get to that.

Shadrack cut him out.

And Serge claimed that Shadrack Sibiya had told Mambela that Serge was connected to all these different people, probably make, trying to make out to seem as though Serge was a flight risk and shouldn't be dealt with.

And the one name that Serge, uh, mentioned was Shamila Batohi, the ex and almost certainly then head of the NPA.

We don't know exactly when this recording dates to necessarily.

It fell through when the hitman tipped off Mudao's husband.

And the newly appointed COSATU president, Mike Shingange, has called for the federation to rebuild and strengthen its structures, including local branches and affiliated unions.

Um, but that appeal simply did not materialize.

And, you know, the NPA was, I think, ready to fight it, but the order itself, the judgment itself was very, very clear, John.

It just said, "Regardless of any interlocutory applications that go on, this trial will proceed on the 1st of, of February." And for whatever reason, um, whether he realized that the end of the road had finally come because the courts have continuously been saying that Zuma is embarking on, on Stalingrad litigation, or if, you know, there are other issues at play that politically speaking that we're unaware of, he simply gave up, you know, over two decades of this kind of litigation strategy.

And at this point, the NPA is on record saying, "There's no legal barrier to this trial proceeding," and the NPA is currently in the process of preparing for it to proceed.

But it's...

The medical stuff does complicate matters, of course.

Of course you can charge him." But there does come a point, I think, where, um, you, you have to say, "Okay, um, in, in some sense, the Stalingrad strategy has been successful.

Much as we don't want him to not stand trial, it would be wantonly cruel to make him stand trial in this condition of health."
