Pretoria - The intervention of national police commissioner Riah Phiyega in the case against deputy prosecutions boss Nomgcobo Jiba is worrying, the National Prosecuting Authority said on Friday.

"I won't want to say that I believe that she is protected. I want to say a perception is created, and it's unavoidable, that she is being protected at all costs," National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP) Mxolisi Nxasana told journalists in Pretoria.

"Because of my position, I wouldn't venture into saying what she is doing is defeating the ends of justice. All I am saying is that I am concerned with her involvement in the matter. I asked her, and I am asking you, does she really do this in all other matters where ordinary suspects are involved?"
