Mr Bulelani Ngcuka spoke about the big challenge that the late Adv. Dullah Omar had faced of transforming the criminal justice system, as the first Minister of Justice of the new democratic South Africa. One of the ways transformation occurred was through the National Prosecuting Authority.


According to Mr Ngcuka’s speech, "The Constitution and the new National Prosecuting Authority Act, therefore, gave us as a country, under the leadership of Dullah Omar, a unique opportunity to curve out a new role and vision for a prosecuting authority operating within a democratic state. This has given us an opportunity to create an entirely new, credible and legitimate prosecuting authority."
