The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) is typically the government agency responsible for state prosecutions in several countries, most notably South Africa and Zambia. In general, the NPA has the power to institute and conduct criminal proceedings on behalf of the state, as well as to discontinue such proceedings. The NPA in South Africa is the primary agency responsible for state prosecutions, established by Section 179 of the South African Constitution and the National Prosecuting Authority Act of 1998.

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) is offering exciting TVET Placement and Graduate Internship opportunities for unemployed South Africans for a 24-month period (2026–2028). This programme aims to provide practical work experience to students who require it to complete their qualifications and to university graduates who are eager to gain valuable workplace exposure.

The NPA is an equal opportunity employer, and people with disabilities are encouraged to apply. In filling vacancies, the organisation prioritises the Employment Equity Act, 1998 (Act 55 of 1998) and the NPA Employment Equity Strategy (2022–2026).
