Justice ministry permanent secretary Virginia Mabhiza yesterday confirmed acting Prosecutor General Ray Goba had been ordered to stop reporting for duty, but could not confirm reports that he had been locked out of his office.
Said Mabhiza:
He has been asked to stop reporting for work. That is all I can say for now, any other pronouncements on the matter will be communicated.
When contacted by NewsDay for a comment, Goba refused to comment saying that it would be inappropriate for him to do so. However sources told NewsDay that a team of Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) operatives visited Goba’s office and issued an order barring him from entering the premises. All files that had been in Goba’s office were transferred to deputy PG Florence Ziyambi’s office.
