Former South African deputy national director of prosecutions Nomgcobo Jiba is under scrutiny at the Khampepe Commission, denying involvement in the missing docket for the Cradock Four murders. She claims to be a scapegoat for families still seeking justice on TRC cases. Jiba testified that her assistant never requested the file, contradicting a 2021 affidavit from a former priority crimes unit head. She only asked for a list of suspects denied amnesty in the Matthew Goniwe killing. The Cradock Four, activists killed by security police, received amnesty for cover-ups, but not the direct killers, leaving families frustrated. Jiba denies political pressure stalled prosecutions and is unaware of a 2004 moratorium on TRC cases or document removals. As the commission investigates apartheid-era delays, Jiba urges respect for victims families while pushing back against blame.
