Johannesburg – The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has announced it won't prosecute former acting national police commissioner Kgomotso Phahlane because there were "no prospects of success".
Phahlane was charged with defeating the ends of justice after he allegedly contacted witnesses interviewed by the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) for an investigation they were conducting into allegations that he, as a career police officer, could afford a house estimated to be worth about R8-million.
NPA spokesperson Luvuyo Mfaku confirmed that they declined to prosecute.
"There are no prospects of success in this case," he said.
"We don’t send a matter to court if we’re going to lose," Mfaku added.
