Show notes

In this episode of Profiler Africa, we’re joined by one of South Africa’s most respected legal minds, Gerrie Nel. With a career spanning decades, Nel has prosecuted some of the country’s most high-profile cases, including the conviction of former police chief Jackie Selebi and leading the Oscar Pistorius murder trial. We explore his early years as a prosecutor, the challenges of working within South Africa’s complex legal and political landscape, and the lasting impact of his work on the justice system. From his time with the Scorpions to his current work with AfriForum’s private prosecution unit, Nel offers unparalleled insight into the evolving landscape of South African law and what it takes to fight for justice in a system under pressure. 📢 Support the Show: • Join our Patreon: patreon.com/profilerafrica for exclusive content. • Follow & Subscribe: Stay updated on new episodes. • Leave a Review: Help us bring more South African true crime and legal analysis to the world. 🎥 Watch full episodes on YouTube!
