Johannesburg - Prosecutions head Mxolisi Nxasana should be commended for taking a stand against his deputy Nomgcobo Jiba and national police commissioner Riah Phiyega, the DA said on Friday.
"Mxolisi Nxasana has conducted himself with distinction throughout this debacle," Democratic Alliance MP and former National Prosecuting Authority prosecutor Glynnis Breytenbach said in a statement.
She praised Nxasana, who is national director of public prosecutions, for making it clear that Jiba enjoyed protection from a source much higher than Phiyega.
