This comes after Johnson’s appearance before the Madlanga Commission in Pretoria produced several concessions and withdrawals in relation to the fraud and corruption case against Police Crime Intelligence head Dumisani Khumalo, Mokwele and others.
One of those withdrawals saw Johnson apologise for describing Mokwele’s appointment in Crime Intelligence as “unsuitable” after evidence showed that Mokwele exceeded the expectations on her qualifications alone.
The complaint pertains to allegations of misconduct and misuse of prosecutorial authority, among other things.
