WTF is going on in this country !
This is very disturbing stuff and is so reminiscent of apartheid hit squads.
Johannesburg - Suspended anti-corruption prosecutor Glynnis Breytenbach was shot at three weeks ago while driving home.
Breytenbach, who prosecuted crime intelligence boss Richard Mdluli until the case was withdrawn by her superiors in December, was suspended by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) this morning.
She told City Press she is convinced the shooting was related to her work.
"I have been followed for some time. It happened late in the evening of April 11 on the N14 while I was driving home. Two shots were fired, but both missed."
Breytenbach said she was still being followed. She reported the shooting to the Hawks.
Force her off the road
Last Wednesday morning two BMW motorcycles tried to force her off the road while she was driving home from the gym.
"A metro police car came by and they backed off," she said.
Breytenbach is the head of the Specialised Commercial Crimes Unit in Pretoria.
Apart from the Mdluli matter, she was also working on the arms deal investigation and on a mining rights case involving Kumba and politically connected Imperial Crown Trading (ICT).
Her lawyer Gerhard Wagenaar confirmed her suspension by acting NPA head Advocate Nomgcobo Jiba on Monday, saying the official reason given by the NPA was that his client allegedly abused her powers in the Kumba fraud case.
Breytenbach was the prosecutor in a case concerning the awarding of mining rights at Sishen to ICT. Kumba subsequently laid a charge of fraud against ICT, and Breytenbach was appointed as prosecutor.
