The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) is the agency of the South African Government responsible for instituting and conducting criminal proceedings on behalf of the State. Its mission is to ensure justice for victims of crime by prosecuting without fear, favour, or prejudice, upholding the Constitution and the rule of law. The NPA is headed by the National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP), a position currently held by Shamila Batohi. The NDPP is supported by four Deputy National Directors of Public Prosecutions and various specialised business units.
