Former National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) prosecutor Gerrie Nel says there is no political agenda behind his decision to join Afrikaans lobby group AfriForum. Nel announced on Tuesday that he had resigned from the NPA, on 24 hour notice, and would be starting his new job as head of AfriForum’s new private prosecuting unit on Wednesday. The prosecutor said AfriForum was the only organisation that had established such a unit and was willing to put up the resources to deal with private prosecution.
