Disciplinary action against NPA prosecutor after missing Joe ‘Ferrari’ Sibanyoni's court appearance.

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has initiated disciplinary proceedings against a prosecutor who was convicted of contempt of court after failing to appear in the Kwaggafontein Magistrates Court in Mpumalanga on Monday, resulting in the case being struck off the roll.

The NPA said the prosecutor has also been suspended pending the outcome of the internal disciplinary process.

The matter relates to the extortion case against taxi kingpin Joe ‘Ferrari’ Sibanyoni and other three accused.

Sibanyoni, Bafana Sindane, Mvimbi Daniel Masilela, and Philemon Msiza face charges of money laundering and extortion.
