The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) is a South African government body within the law enforcement ecosystem that prosecutes criminal cases on behalf of the State and carries out related prosecutorial functions. Created under Section 179 of the 1996 Constitution and the National Prosecuting Authority Act of 1998, it operates from Pretoria, Gauteng, and is led by the National Director with support from Directors of Public Prosecutions and other staff. The NPA comprises seven core business units, including the National Prosecutions Service, the Office for Witness Protection, the Asset Forfeiture Unit, and specialized units for sexual offences, commercial crime, and priority crimes, all supported by Corporate Services. It serves the State and the public by enforcing criminal law and managing processes incidental to instituting prosecutions, within the framework of relevant legislation such as the Witness Protection Act and other acts listed. In 2026, the organization appointed a new National Director of Public Prosecutions, signaling leadership changes at the top.
