CDE executive director Ann Bernstein joined Newzroom Afrika to discuss the appointment process for the next National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP). She emphasised that this may be the most consequential leadership choice for the future of the NPA, noting that the incoming director “must understand that this is a very difficult job, requiring them to fight for the independence of the institution and the right to prosecute powerful individuals accused of corruption.” The interview builds on CDE’s Agenda 2024 publication,  Appointing the next head of the NPA.
