The newly appointed National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP), Advocate Andy Mothibi, is outlining the strategic direction and objectives for the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).
Mothibi is briefing the media in Pretoria, a first since his appointment.
In a statement the NPA said: “He will share his vision for the organisation and reflect on the NPA’s role as a key institution in strengthening the rule of law and advancing the fight against crime and corruption in South Africa.”
The briefing will also provide an overview of the NPA’s strategic principles, including the implementation of the “Quick Wins Action Plan” and other key initiatives aimed at strengthening prosecutorial capacity, improving case finalisation rates and addressing priority crimes affecting communities across the country.
Meanwhile, IOL News recently reported that the NPA has issued a stern warning to the public following renewed reports of individuals impersonating Mothibi through fraudulent phone numbers and social media accounts.
According to NPA spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago, some impersonators have been circulating messages while falsely claiming to be Mothibi. In some cases, they have used a photo of him taken with the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure, Dean Macpherson, to lend credibility and mislead recipients.
“The NPA strongly condemns these acts of impersonation and urges the public to exercise caution when receiving messages or calls from anyone claiming to be Advocate Mothibi,” Kganyago said in a statement.

Kganyago said the NDPP does not communicate with the public through private or unfamiliar numbers regarding official matters.
The NPA noted that such conduct is unlawful and could constitute offences including fraud and impersonation. It has called on those responsible to immediately stop impersonating Mothibi and misusing his image.
Members of the public who receive suspicious messages or calls claiming to be from Mothibi are urged not to engage and to report the incidents to their nearest law enforcement authorities.
