Appointment of prosecutions boss Andy Mothibi headed for legal showdown
January 29, 2026
|Cape Times
ADVOCATE Barnabas Xulu is forging ahead with his legal bid challenging the appointment of National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP).
In papers, Xulu said incoming NDPP Andy Mothibi was appointed unlawfully as he did not participate in a formal interview process.
Xulu has also accused President Cyril Ramaphosa of lacking transparency in the appointment.
Mothibi, who replaced Advocate Shamila Batohi, is expected to assume his new responsibilities from February 1.
Xulu and his law firm, B Xulu and Partners Incorporated, filed an urgent court application in December 2025 to prevent Ramaphosa from appointing the new NDPP, saying the interview process was flawed, biased, and unlawful.
