Polokwane - Justice Minister Brigitte Mabandla on Monday declined to be drawn on the National Prosecution Authority's (NPA) probe into National Police Commissioner Jackie Selebi.
"No comment. I do not talk about those things," she told Sapa when approached at the national conference of the African National Congress in Polokwane.
On Sunday, the NPA said it had reached a decision on whether to prosecute Selebi, but could not reveal this until Mabandla had studied a report it had submitted to her on the matter.
A review panel, tasked with establishing whether Selebi had a case to answer on criminal allegations against him, had made findings on the matter and submitted them to acting NPA head Mokotedi Mpshe.
After studying the panel's report, Mpshe, who then made a decision on whether Selebi should be prosecuted, submitted the report to Mabandla.
Selebi, who was spotted at the ANC conference on Saturday, had two warrants issued against him three months ago. Both were cancelled in September.
