The inquiry into Gauteng NPA prosecutor Andrew Chauke has hit a snag as key witnesses withdraw and outgoing NPA head Shamila Batohi refuses to testify without legal representation. The panel, appointed at Batohi's urging, adjourned proceedings amid these setbacks. Chauke faces accusations of interfering in high-profile cases from 2012.

Retired Justice Bess Nkabinde has postponed the Nkabinde Inquiry until Thursday to address concerns over Advocate Shamila Batohi's legal representation. The delay stems from Batohi's request for personal counsel, which was denied state funding, prompting her to seek help from the new National Director of Public Prosecutions. The inquiry is examining the fitness of suspended South Gauteng Director Andrew Chauke.
