The Structure of The NPA
On a national level, the NPA is headed by the National Director of Public Prosecutions (the "NDPP"). The current NDPP is Menzi Simelane, who is the successor of Bulelani Thandabantu Ngcuka, Vusumzi Patrick Pikoli and Mokotedi Mpshe.
The NDPP is supported by Chief Executive Officer, a position which was filled by Marion Sparg from 2000 to 2007, and by four Deputy National Directors.
Directors of Public Prosecutions further support the office of the NDPP. Every seat of the High Court of South Africa is served by a Director of Public Prosecutions (a "DPP"), who acts as the prosecution authority for such Court's jurisdictional area.
Further support comes from Special Directors and Investigating Directors.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“There is no such thing as a language, not if a language is anything like what many philosophers and linguists have supposed. There is therefore no such thing to be learned, mastered, or born with. We must give up the idea of a clearly defined shared structure which language-users acquire and then apply to cases.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
