Joe Sibanyoni in the magistrate's court in Kwaggafontein.
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has withdrawn the suspension of prosecutor Mkhuseli Ntaba following an interim investigation into the controversial events surrounding the criminal case involving Mpumalanga taxi boss Joe “Ferrari” Sibanyoni and others.
Ntaba's suspension comes after he failed to appear in court for the extortion and money laundering case against Sibanyoni.
Kwaggafontein Chief Magistrate Tuletu Tonjeni convicted prosecutor Ntaba for contempt of court and subsequently authorised a warrant for his arrest.
NPA spokesperson Kaiser Kganyago said the decision to lift the suspension came after the Office for Ethics and Accountability (OEA) submitted an interim report examining the circumstances that led to developments in the matter on 15 and 18 May 2026.
