A popular South African prosecutor, Gerrie Nel, who
oversaw the convictions of Paralympian Oscar Pistorius and former police chief
Jackie Selebi has resigned from his job. He handed in his resignation on
Monday, giving his employers 24 hours’ notice.
Mr Nel is one of the most high profile and successful prosecutors
in South Africa. He achieved international fame when he successfully
prosecuted Pistorius for the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in
2013.
He was also widely praised for getting Selebi, als a former
Interpol president, jailed in 2011 for taking bribes worth around $156,000
(£103,000) from convicted drug dealer Glenn Agliotti.
Today is Mr Nel's last day at the National Prosecuting
Authority.
He is reportedly joining a mainly Afrikaner civil
rights group, AfriForum, where he will set up a private prosecutions unit, BBC
reports.
