Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) head Advocate Andrea Johnson during her testimony at the parliamentary inquiry probing allegations of corruption within the criminal justice system.

Independent Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) head Advocate Andrea Johnson’s future is at risk following a call for an investigation into her fitness to hold office.

This is while the uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP) is seeking to lay perjury charges with police against her and former Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Advocate Shamila Batohi.

The Legal Practice Council (LPC) confirmed on Friday that it has received a request from Public Interest SA (PISA), a civil movement, to investigate Johnson’s fitness to continue as a practising lawyer.

PISA approached the LPC on Thursday, seeking a disciplinary investigation into Johnson’s conduct, which was laid bare when she made confessions at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry.
