Ramaite’s testimony: How former minister Mabandla obstructed TRC case prosecutions
The Star
|February 25, 2026
DURING the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Cases Inquiry, former Acting National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP), Dr Silas Ramaite, testified that former leaders, including former minister of Justice Brigitte Mabandla, were responsible for interference.
On Monday, Dr Ramaite leveled serious allegations, asserting that political interference obstructed the prosecution of apartheid-era human rights violations. Specifically, he revealed that in November 2004, Mabandla instructed the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to cease all TRC case prosecutions.
Dr Ramaite served as deputy for 15 years before President Cyril Ramaphosa appointed him to an acting capacity in August 2018.
His name was mentioned last week in connection with an allegation that then-president Thabo Mbeki had blocked the imminent arrest of the accused in the poisoning of anti-apartheid activist Reverend Frank Chikane.
