The South African National Christian Forum (SANCF) has requested Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development, Mmamoloko Kubayi, to initiate an investigation against Chief Magistrate Tuletu Tonjeni, following her controversial decision to release taxi boss Madoda Joe “Ferrari” Sibanyoni and his co-accused due to the prosecutor's absence.
Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development Mmamoloko Kubayi has been requested to investigate Mpumalanga Chief Magistrate Tuletu Tonjeni, who presided over the extortion and money laundering case involving taxi boss Joe “Ferrari” Sibanyoni and his co-accused.
This is after Tonjeni found state prosecutor Mkhuseli Ntaba guilty of contempt of court and authorised a warrant of arrest for failing to attend the scheduled court appearance last week, striking the case off the roll, citing an unreasonable delay in the proceedings.
The South African National Christian Forum (SANCF) said the Justice and Constitutional Development should initiate an investigation against Tonjeni and establish whose interests she acted in.
This comes after the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) filed an application for leave to appeal Tonjeni’s orders.
