The National Prosecuting Authority has been in the news for all the wrong reasons recently. Minister Jeff Radebe has defended the organisation by pointing to the number of people in prison.

At the desk with ABN's Samantha Loring, for a discussion is Jessica Hubbard from Finweek, James Selfe, Shadow Minister of Correctional Services and Golden Miles Bhudu, President of the South African Prisoners Organisation for Human Rights.
