       PRETORIA - Civil rights organisation AfriForum on Wednesday
       filed criminal charges of corruption, fraud, theft, extortion
       and forgery against National Director of Public Prosecutions
       (NDPP) Shaun Abrahams and six other senior members of the
       National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).
       "This follows after AfriForum received an anonymous letter that
       elaborates on allegations of serious criminal conduct. In this
       letter is a plea for AfriForum to ensure that the rot within the
       NPA is not allowed to continue,” Monique Taute, head of
       AfriForum’s anti-corruption unit, told journalists at the
       Silverton police station in Pretoria.
       “One allegation refers to a covertly-funded fraudulent travel
       claim from four members of the NPA. The claims, submitted for
       authorisation to travel to Zeerust, misrepresent the fact that
       they actually travelled to Cape Town and spent R97 000 of these
       covert funds,” says Taute.
       Additionally, it is also alleged that a witness protection
       vehicle was allocated to the NDPP, who then used the vehicle for
       personal benefit.
       “I believe the suggestion here is that all government assets are
       strictly governed and that the logbooks, etc must at all times –
       even under covert circumstances – reflect the factual use of the
       asset, but in this case the NDPP has corruptly ensured a
       personal and/or gratuitous official benefit to which he is not
       entitled,” adds Taute.
       She said AfriForum believes the allegations are of an alarming
       nature, and therefore requested the South African Police Service
       (SAPS) to investigate the allegations.
       Taute said the allegations "should now be enough reason for
       President Cyril Ramaphosa to remove Abrahams from office, as it
       is clear that he is not a fit and proper person to hold office".
       The NPA is yet to comment on the allegations.
