In 2019, Shamila Batohi returned from The Hague to lead our National Prosecuting Authority (NPA). During the Zuma presidency, the once-proud NPA had been hollowed out by state capture; Batohi was a welcome appointment who promised to restore the organisation and ensure speedy convictions of state capture perpetrators. The same year, former prosecutor Hermione Cronje returned to head up the NPA's sharp end: the Investigating Directorate (ID) which would investigate, arrest and prosecute state capture and complex financial crimes. Batohi and Cronje: two powerful women with the same aim. But within two years, Cronje left for a second time. Since then, the NPA has made several high-profile arrests, but the progress on state capture cases is dismal, and crucial ones have been struck from the roll. Is the NPA still in crisis, despite angry denials from current leadership? Carte Blanche, in association with amaBhungane, looks at what has gone wrong at the National Prosecuting Authority.

Every time I click on a Carte Blanch episode I inevitably begin to shake my head already in disbelief.
Amazing work, I love the journalist
How come that somebody with her qualifications and background is still "learning" from mistakes in prosecuting criminals??? She should not be learning anything, she should be guiding her staff to have successful prosecutions.
but we must also just remember that the judicial system is also bought, who says these judges dont just say there not enough evidence because thy are told to do it,
We need a totally new government. One that have not shake hands with the elite and corrupt. It's the only way out
Shamila Batohi - is arrogant and cocky in her failure to do her job since being appointment in 2019 - Ms Batohi your a public servant and accountable to every South African taxpayer- “You have been weighed in the balance and found wanting,” 👎
No truer word hath ever been spoken.
Só over-rated and corrupted!!
Karen and Pauli needs Pulitzer prizes.
Batching is so patronising. Yet her record of under-performance is as clear as daylight. Well done Sue for raising pertinent quizzes.
Go watch the full documentary you will see why
Y’all say “post State Capture” as if SA is not in currently a captured state 😂😂
The capture is still there... it's just the public are aware of their nonsense now.
These Tenderpreneurs now do different covert tactics to have crazy markups for government contracts.
I cannot imagine how much her incompetence cost the taxpayers. You'd swear she's doing it on purpose. I mean you really cannot be "that" incompetent. On a hunch, I also feel like the NPA is captured itself.
Man, I love Carte Blanche 👍
Shamila is being paid for nothing. They drop the ball all the time. Guptas, Bushiri etc
who says thy are not told to drop these cases from the top, judges are also bought
If we can't even get them on the country, let alone into a trial we can speculate till kingdom come. This incompetence flows right through our judicial system
Shamila the most incompetent head of NPA
She is involved in all the back handers.
That's why!
".......we are learning from"
My goodness.....
Would Chiefs of Industries be allowed such a ridiculous answer to their shareholders?
You are accountable to the South African Public, Ma'am.
You are failing horribly!!
I thought Shawn Abrahams set the bar as low as it could go, but seemingly I was wrong.
Fully complicit in her job as destabilizer
She is not performing and is an embarrassment to her profession
There's a reason why these people are appointed to high legal office.
There's no reason at all . They don't add value
@@Rooi_Online You missed the point.
@dazzledonkey bengisozela yazi😅😆. I only see now that I truly didn't get it
@@Rooi_Online What he means is they there to protect the corrupt.
She's right. There's a lot to be done but security and freedom shall prevail. We need to continue our democracy. The only way for that to continue is through enduring and ensuring safety.
How sad though, the bad guys are having a field day. 😢
Batoyi, you not fit for purpose.
All this woman has done is proven that she is herself a captured cadre, protecting her comrades from prosecution and, if not, the unbelievable incompetence means that she should've been thrown out of this job years ago. Instead, she has been earning millions from tax-payers while sitting around doing nothing & letting criminals continue flourishing in our country! Shame on her & her comrades.
Great episode 👏
This NPA denying they failing is disturbing coz these are huge failures.
The NPA is worth nothing,get the right people in charge before anything is done
"Right now it's speaking volumes" 😂😂😂😂...loved that last part.
looking at Matthews Suites, I bet no investigation of importance will ever go anywhere. It is clear he has no interest in justice as much as he does in Suites and watches.
It's called incompetence
I still have enormous respect for the NPA, and the many competently individuals who spend their lives working to protect this county. I even have respect for Batoi for coming to the interview. BUT it is clear, that the NPA is failing to bring these criminals to book. They need resources, they need support, and they need to stop making excuses.
Look where the Senzo Meyiwa trial is? Why is the NPA not intervening?
Seems its either incompetence or Intentional failure.. Bring the scorpions back..
Shamila sellout bathoyi
Anc really destroyed the npa, what a joke, voetsek anc
Someone or some people got rid of Cloete Murray so now we see the downward spiral
And corrupted Shamilah.
What have they not destroyed 😳
Advocate SHAMILLA bATOHI SHOULD ADMIT HER DISMAL FAILURE AS npa HEAD.There are many loose ends to tie up and need a competent NPA head.Her term has been disastrous if not a complete failure
The ANC is a safe haven for perpetrators of corruption
But anc is out of power its gnu now and batohi is not anc
The npa head admitted they are still learning, which is dangerous for justice .Experienced professionals should be put in charge immediately 😢
No one knows everything and if one thinks they do then they know nothing. We learn every day and to learn from one's mistakes is a strength.
We need Madonsela
She's captured as well by the Stellenbosch Mafia
@@paulka90 You must be a Zuma and Malema fan. You guys are programmed to be saying that. This is sad.
The system is created to enable corruption. The idea that the head must be appointed by the president is pointless, like why?
To go do what? She is worse that one
Shamila Batohi, what a disgrace!
Time to accept the guptas got away with it
but why ?????? these people were all bribed to look the other way
The Anc never had intentions of bringing them back!!!!!!!!!!
@@ayandafree4354 thye cant let them come back, as they will tell the truth to stay out of jail, i agree, the case was on purpose botched
Shamila Batoh says it’s up to us to decide what we think of the NPA and how well they are doing. So, if we say you aren’t doing enough by not even having an extradition docket ready when a country part of Brics has a fugitive in custody, then what? If you lack the resources to prosecute high profile cases at least say so publicly. RSA have a history of undermining the judicial system but why be part of it, and not saying anything, Carte Balance must ask and then we hear what is going on from the horse’s mouth. It just seems like all those before her was just there for the salary.
The big question maybe the NPA is captured as well
Shamila Batohi must be fired as soon as possible very useless
And who is useful ? You ? 🥱🙄
@@malopo99 He is not the one getting paid millions, she and her incompetent self is. I can put my cat there and he would be more competent. At least he can catch mice🐁🐭
Erm, were still waiting for even one arrest. There are implicated MP's still sitting in Parliament!!!!!
It is so plainly obvious that Shamila Batohi is not the right preson to head the NPA. She is not a closer, she is in over her head. Her arrogance and defensiveness in these interviews only points to the fact that she is not fit for purpose.
At first I thought the NPA was useless - th3n I realised they are useful in their uselessness. Useful to those who want to create a facade of due process but actually aim to curtail judicial processes. It's a shame.
Useless incompetence!!!
What a joke this ANC government is…
It would be a great start for ANC to finally admit this fact…
😂😂😂
Shamila is on payroll of the state capturers
Glenn's Breytenbact should head the NPA. She doesn't take excuses and valued Accountability.
Adv Shamila Batohi does accept bribes from marcus jooste very disgusting. He ( marcus jooste) should arrested long ago. this is public case DOESN'T MATTER public case
Adv Shamila Batohi is totally a FAILURE THEN does not charge Cyril ramaphosa for corruption
He is died already
@NextNinjaLevel yes by own his means. He should arrested long time ago 2019. He (marcus jooste ) committed suicide this year. So from 2019 to 2024 he did not be jail cell
@NextNinjaLevel remember he stole from people long life saving
@NextNinjaLevel he should being jail cell long time ago
Pathetic.
She is even smiling and ask....what else...wa tella ausi yeo...sies
NPA mafias. #senzomeyiwa. If you are poor forget justice.
How much of our money are we paying these incompetent, or are they strategically positioned?
They got her. Its high time we accept that under the anc, no one will face justice
@@onccemeglingstonhs6206 under anc or under gnu?
money money talks
We (several people and I) were not matriculated and gifted with degrees,but we were shown the door politely when the "new" regime took over. We were replaced by youngsters like this woman and watched blunder after blunder in horror. I remember how we begged our old C.O. for a chance to come back,but even he and the others were frustrated and retired too. 😢
Batohi is not man enough for the job.
The lack of capacity is the same reason why the Steinhoff case has gone untouched...
What can one say that has already been added. They are just plainly incompetent.
This NPA team should be charged for failing the country we need to publicaly hold then accountable
Who paid her?
@@irlonconstantine8793 marcus jooste is one people made payments to her
Wish my case would be followed 3 years of total nonsense
19 pretrial and 17 trial and it's not over .......
NPA is a blady joke 🤣😂😂😂🤣 disgrace
Did I mention what the police took from me isn't in police holding anymore everything is gone .......
Totally disgusted
Why not ask Batoyi, what interventions did she do? She just said she intervened, why not question properly to exactly what she did?
😪 What a mess
BATHOYI we don't need u to agree but we want as South Africans our tax rands returned to us as coughes
I'd be curious to know how many people that actually work for such investigative journalism units - actually support the ANC or eff... Or any of their affiliates and comrades. ...and more importantly, WHY? I get the feeling the odds are slim.
Its all about the salaries.
Shamila is useless. Claim to fame was the Hansie trial and nothing since then. 5 years in office and nothing to show for it
Ramaphosa Administration achieved nothing, NPA is just one of many examples that reflects terribly on the leadership of Ramaphosa. 😢😢😢
When a judge calls a case a comedy then you know that the case work done is really a comedy
Zupta is smiling all the way
Its obvious what is going on here.
Shady Shamila - evasive at best!!!
This leader of the country's prosecutorial authority and when it's time to answer to the questions of her organisation, she doesn't know. Who else ought to know? No ways you come from the Hague with this kind of approach
Wa palelwa!
The problem in South Africa is that people think corruption is done by Black people, however there's one couple of individuals who are more corrupt to the chore but they pretend to be immune to prosecution. All is a joke
Stereotyping people is bad, I'll give that, but numbers don't lie. Who's willingly voting for people who have ongoing corruption cases against them? Black people aren't inheritanly corrupt, but there sure is a problem of condoning it.
Is this mathews guy not leon schuster in disguise😂
Tough enough? Sorry NO
Mandela should not have been freed and the country gone into permanent state of emergency ...army deployed ..
No the NPA does not have it to handle these cases.
A whole Head of Public Prosecution simply says she doesn't know why the prosecutions were unsuccessful.Its quite clear why;the prosecutors did not compile enough compelling evidence or theyv'e got none!
The losers,well you see;the public,the tax payers😂
We did the best we could ...
😂
What about the current state capture? Anything to say about that?
MORE THAN A BILLION for the zondo commission.
now what.
Steeling is a sin.😢😢
Shamila Batoyi clearly has no shame. Showing such arrogance, despite her and the NPA's shortcomings. What a disgraceful human being. Atleast have the decency to address failures with acknowledgement and grace. Wrong person for the job.
Where has Shamile been hiding the last 5 years?
ANC/Zuma must be proud wherever he is. Pls vote them in again rsa. Are we really expecting to prosecute this carbal of a party using their own chosen appointed ppl. Shut the front door please.
Reputable Damage 101
They can’t even take accountability 😢😢😢
They are only there for their stomachs
The NPA is not capable of this important task .
We are currently living under state capture. This ramaphosa adminstration is real state capture
The moment she said “Learning “ then that explains alot of sat backs and failures hence the 0.01%
They useless
To be fair, were the recordings of internal meetings legally obtained? How many convictions did Cronje obtain in her time? Valid criticisms for Nulane and Koko. Guptas not so much. UAE is the source of the problem. Not everything is NPA fault: state capture findings is not admissible evidence in court. Investigations and work needs be done to get the matters to the stage of court readiness. That takes time and access to the Zondo database which the NPA does not have. There is extreme pressure to enroll state capture matters whilst at the same time criticizing matters still under investigation . In these circumstances, it's little wonder that prosecutors go to court half-corked! Let's not malign the entire NPA for there are actually prosecutors that are doing excellent work amidst many challenges!
Because all true trained scarce skilled detectives were put off to pastures
NPA = 🤡🤡🤡
I think we should just let the people who committed state capture go, it's apparent that the people who are tasked to bringing these people to justice are not up to stask.😊😊 So now it's a matter of collecting as much salary as possible while pretending to be doing something meaningful. You know, it could be said that the NPA is capturing the state by not delivering and yet still collect huge some of money in the form of salaries for people doing underwhelming work. 😊😊🎉
but we also know these judges are ANC members ??????? they are bought to drop these high profile cases,
Struggling or "Struggling" to bring to trail? 🤔
Batohi is part 9f the problem
ANC puppet
She was appointment by Pravin who was also useless
She talks like a politician,these guys will die before going to trial.they won
Pathetic
This problem is everywhere in govament. You go in muncipalitity you wait. They talk laff and joke. Talk phones . Then one she help you. Most time she cant find anser. She move big eye lash up and down. She call other with long nail cant pick up file . Laff loud . You get no help. Next month same problem . Nothin fixed. Stupit peeples
I do cyber security forensics.. Need help?? 😣
She must be related as an Indian.😢😢😢😢
