NPA boss's 'vendetta' backfires

[MickeyD]

I never had any doubt that that this would fail. Menzi Simelane is a political appointee with a very specific agenda - protect the cadres!!

Prosecutions boss Menzi Simelane was left with egg on his face this week after he tried to oust one of Willie Hofmeyr's trusted lieutenants, Knorx Molelle.

Simelane backed down and agreed to reinstate Molelle - before 500 pages of evidence compiled by Molelle could be used to embarrass him in court.

Insiders said Simelane's suspension of Molelle, head of KwaZulu-Natal's asset forfeiture unit, was part of a strategy to neuter the crime-fighting arm that has seized assets belonging to politically influential businessmen and politicians.
