Concerned that only black people are being targeted by private prosecutions‚ the Black First Land First group announced it had established its own private litigation and prosecution unit.
"Our main area of focus is to start with the cases that the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) are sitting on that involve serious white-collar corruption. We will soon be writing both to the police commissioner and the National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP) and demanding the status of investigations with regard to the cases that we intend to target‚" the group said in a statement on Tuesday.
"This includes those cases that involve senior NPA officials‚ past and present‚ who‚ in turn‚ divert the attention away from themselves‚ and pretend to be holy cows‚ while working in cohorts with the General Council of the Bar (GCB)‚ FUL [Freedom Under Law] and AfriForum for self-servings ends‚" the statement continued.
