Andrew Chauke cleared to hold office following inquiry into Shamila Batohi's allegations.
The South Gauteng Director of Public Prosecutions, Advocate Andrew Chauke, has been declared fit to hold office after a year in suspension.
The decision to clear Chauke comes after retired Constitutional Court Justice Baaitse Nkabinde formally handed the report to President Cyril Ramaphosa early this month.
Chauke has been on paid suspension since July 20, 2025, pending the outcome of the inquiry. his suspension came almost two years after the former National Director of Public Prosecutions Advocate Shamila Batohi first requested that Ramaphosa institute proceedings against him.
Her concerns centred on the withdrawal of several State Capture-related prosecutions, as well as what she described as broader shortcomings in the performance of the South Gauteng office.
