Johannesburg - National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) deputy prosecutions
boss advocate Nomgcobo Jiba appeared briefly in a Pretoria court on Wednesday.
The case was set down for August 19 , August 20 and September 21 for
trial in the Pretoria Regional Court.
On April 21, Jiba made her first appearance in the Specialised
Commercial Crime Court in Pretoria.
Jiba faces two
counts of fraud and one of perjury relating to the failed prosecution for
racketeering of KwaZulu-Natal Hawks boss Major General Johan Booysen.
In March, police served summons on National Director of Public
Prosecutions Mxolisi Nxasana at the NPA headquarters in Silverton, Pretoria
when they could not locate Jiba.
Nxasana said when he handed the summons to Jiba she refused to accept
the documents. Nxasana, however, conveyed the April 21 court date to Jiba.
At the time the matter was postponed to June, to enable the State to
reveal further particulars of the case to Jiba.
On Wednesday, Jiba and her lawyers received the formal charge sheet
before the postponement.
