The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) filed papers on Thursday to oppose the State Security Ministry's application for leave to appeal a judgement that would allow former national intelligence coordinator Barry Gilder to testify in the corruption trial of former police national commissioner Jackie Selebi.
The ministry lodged a petition at the SCA early in January to overturn a decision by Judge Meyer Joffe to compel Gilder to testify in Selebi's corruption trial.
Selebi is facing a count of corruption and another of defeating the ends of justice in connection with at least R1,2-million he allegedly received from convicted drug trafficker Glenn Agliotti, slain mining magnate Brett Kebble and former Hyundai boss Billy Rautenbach in return for favours.
