NPA Aspirant Prosecutor Programme back on track

NPA Aspirant Prosecutor Programme back on track

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has announced that it will reinstate the much vaunted Aspirant Prosecutor Programme.

The programme was suspended this year due to budget constraints.

“In 2022/23, the NPA absorbed over 1000 law graduates into its Aspirant Prosecutor Programme. Due to the unplanned budget cuts, many of these aspirants could not be given contracts after completion of the programme.

“The recent improvement in the NPA’s budget situation has allowed the organisation to offer contracts to many aspirants that are already in the system, gradually filling the vacant district court posts that are being created through internal promotions,” the NPA said in a statement on Thursday.

The institution added that training for the 2025 intake is expected to start on 1 March 2025.

“For 2024, the NPA is starting the process to recruit a smaller intake of 80 aspirants for the year, but with a specific focus on NPA offices that have the capacity to train these colleagues and utilise them in priority high need areas. 

“The advertisement for the 2025 intake will be published on 16 August on the NPA and DPSA [Department of Public Service and Administration] websites, as well as on the NPA social media platforms,” the NPA said.

Enquiries on the programme can be sent to communication@npa.gov.za – SAnews.gov.za
