Summarization
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has confirmed that it has declined to prosecute anyone in connection with the death of Anele Tembe, AKA's late girlfriend. This has delayed the inquest into her death and has caused the Tembe family to make representations to the NPA. It is also important to note that this was a decision made by the NPA, not a judicial decision, and that the inquest court can still determine if anyone should be held responsible for her death. Additionally, comments throughout the tweets point to the fact that the criminal justice system may be partly to blame for AKA's murder. Furthermore, one tweet suggests that re-writing the law books is not the solution to fight crime, citing the fact that there are already full-fledged laws in place but what is needed is proper enforcement. Lastly, another tweet comments on the bail decision given to illegal immigrants accused of rape, saying disciplinary steps should be taken if the Public Prosecutor fails to stringently oppose bail or to appeal the bail decision.

| 1624758036827865089 | @TheTruthPanther @NPA_Prosecutes Bail to illegal immigrants accused of rape is legal madness and unjustifiable ito ss60(4)(b) of the Criminal Procedure Act, 1977. Disciplinary steps ought to be taken if the Public Prosecutor failed to stringently oppose bail or to appeal the bail decision. https://t.co/Xi0cja8yTN | 32 |
| 1627708548036558856 | While we sit in the dark all the @Eskom_SA thieves are living a lavish lifestyle. Its is very clear that the captured @NPA_Prosecutes refuse to go after those criminals. Just what @GovernmentZA has ordered. https://t.co/Fkjzj1n1Am | 29 |
| 1628081531280318464 | Knowing what I know, more cases of this nature will collapse. Prosecution by the @NPA_Prosecutes should happen without fear, favor, and prejudice. This is currently not the case. The NPA is currently following the targeted individuals instead of following the evidence. https://t.co/kczhCqp6q6 | 23 |
| 1627280981093715969 | Kiernan Forbes is no more & the Tembe is after him, WHY?! What do they want from a dead man? Why are they desperate for @NPA_Prosecutes to prosecute a dead man? Connect the dots. THEY ALLEGEDLY WANT TO DESTRUCT THE INVESTIGATIONS PROCEEDINGS. OPEN YOUR EYES!! South Africa! 🤲🏾 | 18 |
| 1627723109087182861 | #Crime @Abramjee says “we are on the brink of being a mafia state…” And he says corruption with the police is a major problem. WATCH and share. @SAPoliceService @TaxJustice_SA @sarstax @NPA_Prosecutes @TreasuryRSA https://t.co/3wZKqU75mZ | 16 |
| 1626456611832098817 | Crooks with 3 million illegal guns won’t care about stricter gun laws. Rewriting the law books isn’t the answer. We have all the laws we need to fight crime.

| 1625124058059743232 | @MarumoMashigo @NPA_Prosecutes Important to stress that this wasn’t a judicial decision. It was a decision made by the NPA and will result in Anele’s death being investigated by an inquest court. That court can still determine if anyone should be held responsible for her death. | 15 |

| 1625113209593122818 | @karynmaughan @NPA_Prosecutes Denying the victim's attorney access to the docket says it all. NPA is known for scoring own goals but this statement and the timing thereof takes the cake.🚮 | 138 |

| 1625089790386241536 | @karynmaughan @NPA_Prosecutes The criminal justice system is partly to blame for AKA's murder, Pollsmoor maximum-security prison would've kept him safe. | 95 |
