At the Madlanga Commission, witness Sesoko testifies about how he says the office of former National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) leadership was managed under Johnson. Sesoko says he was “sidelined,” asserting that Deputy Directors of Public Prosecutions (DDPPs) took over chairing the OMC, rather than Johnson’s office maintaining that role. He further alleges that senior investigators, including Dylan Perumal and Booi, were reporting directly to Johnson instead of reporting through Johnson’s office.
The testimony focuses on internal lines of authority and reporting within the prosecuting structure and the OMC. Sesoko’s account suggests changes in decision-making and oversight that, in his view, reduced his involvement and altered how information and direction moved within the office. The commission hearing examines these claims in the broader context of accountability and governance relevant to the commission’s mandate. Other sources provided here contain limited additional detail, but they align with the central points that Sesoko challenges Johnson’s leadership approach and the manner of reporting and chairing responsibilities.
