Glynnis Breytenbach

Glynnis Breytenbach (born 9 August 1960,) is a former prosecutor for the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) of South Africa and is a Member of Parliament for the Democratic Alliance (DA).She was Shadow Minister of Justice when the DA was the official opposition to the ANC.[5] In this capacity, she has called for an end to ongoing political interference that has compromised the integrity of the NPA. Her protracted dispute with the NPA over her suspension in 2012 from its Specialised Commercial Crime Unit was covered extensively in the media. In 2017, she published a memoir, Rule of Law, and in 2018 was shortlisted for the National Director of Public Prosecutions post at the NPA, but later withdrew her candidacy. Quotes The entire system needs a serious overhaul, and that includes the police, the prosecution, the judiciary and correctional services." I believe that because of that, just that little scenario, the Minister of Justice (Ronald Lamola) and the Minister of Police (Bheki Cele) would have resigned if they had any ounce of integrity. And when they didn't resign, the president (Cyril Ramaphosa), bless him, should have fired them. But, of course, that also won't happen because that would require him to do something." So before Parliament rises next year, one hopes that this bill will go through. The Commission can be set up within the space of around a year."
