July 23, 2025

PRESIDENT Cyril Ramaphosa has suspended South Gauteng Director of Public Prosecutions, Advocate Andrew Chauke, with immediate effect, following claims that threaten the credibility of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) and his questionable conduct in office.

- KAMOGELO MOICHELA

The presidency's spokesperson, Vincent Magwenya confirmed this in a statement on Monday evening that he would be on suspension pending an inquiry into Chauke’s fitness to hold office.

Magwenya said Ramaphosa had asked Chauke to provide reasons why he should not be suspended but the president decided suspension was the correct action pending an inquiry.

"Ramaphosa has informed Advocate Chauke of his decision in writing and indicated that the President and the public would benefit from an independent assessment of issues that require elucidation and on which there are disputes of fact.
