She believes the Seriti Commission was a waste of taxpayer's money with a pre-determined outcome.
"While I welcome the decision by the NPA, they finally made the right decision, but they should have made this decision before we wasted millions of Rands of taxpayers' money on the Seriti Commission," she said.
