The National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP), Advocate Andy Mothibi, has formally instructed that the charges against National Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola be withdrawn.

The instruction comes after a review of charges laid against Masemola in connection with the controversial Medicare24 tender.

Masemola was arrested by the Independent Directorate Against Corruption on charges of violating the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA).

“Following the review process, the NDPP is satisfied that there are no reasonable prospects of a successful prosecution against the National Commissioner on the PFMA charges,” said National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago.
