THE National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) and the justice department met yesterday to investigate ways to prosecute 1384 people arrested in the wake of xenophobic violence over the past two weeks.
NPA spokesman Tlali Tlali said the objective was to have dedicated resources set aside to have special courts and court officials to enable quick prosecution.
