Advocate Ramsamy

state advocate

Advocate Ramsamy is a prosecutor attached to the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) within the National Prosecuting Authority. Admitted as an attorney of the High Court of South Africa in June 2013, she began her career as an aspirant prosecutor in Pietermaritzburg in 2015, later working in the Pinetown cluster from 2016 to 2020 before being appointed a state advocate in March 2023. Before the Commission, her role centred on a Section 28(13) application and the handling of documents, with testimony describing her engagements with investigators and other officials. She faced questions about the provenance of certain documents, which she and an investigator said they could not trace, and her intention to make disclosures under protected disclosure protection.
