3. Background
The NPA is committed to playing its role in the realisation of the goals set by government through the National Development Plan (NDP)
The Strategic Plan is still aligned with the Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF)
The NPA Annual Performance Plan 2017/18 is aligned and links the strategic objectives to the budget structure
The NPA Annual Performance Plan 2017/18 is incorporated into the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development as programme 4
Management identified the need to amend the plans to reflect the current situation

4. Introduction
Vision
Justice in our society so that people can live in freedom and security
Mission
To provide justice to the victims of crime by prosecuting without fear, favour or prejudice, and by working with our partners and the public to solve and prevent crime

5. Values
Integrity
Demonstrated through ethical conduct, high moral standards, honesty, moral principles and values, zero tolerance to bribery or corruption, keeping promises, truthfulness and being beyond reproach
Accountability
Depicted by being responsible and answerable for our actions
Service Excellence
Found in providing first class customer service and complying with the Batho Pele Principles
Professionalism 
Through commitment and dedication, punctuality, competence and professional conduct in and out of court
Credibility
Depicted in the following behaviour: consistency and the ability to inspire belief or trust

6. Amendments to the APP
The objectives of the NPA are linked to its sub-programmes in terms of its core business
No changes have been made on the strategic objectives
The NPA has three strategic objectives, namely:
Increased successful prosecution
Ensure profit is removed from crime
Ensure vulnerable and intimidated witnesses and related persons are successfully protected

7. Amendments to the APP (cont)
The strategic objective “Ensure that threatened witnesses and related persons are successfully protected” revised to “Ensure that vulnerable and intimidated witnesses and related persons are successfully protected”
to align to the vision and mission for witness protection in terms of the Witness Protection Act
The following indicators were removed from the APP :
Number of cases finalised with verdict
Number of cases finalised through ADRM;
To be reported in a consolidated manner as:
All criminal/court matters finalised (inclusive of ADRM cases).
The target for the number of operational TCCs reduced from 60 to 55 for the MTEF period, due to budgetary constraints.

8. Amendments to the APP (cont)
The following targets were not increased due to optimal performance:
Conviction rate: High Courts, Regional Courts, Organised Crime, Trio Crimes and Complex Commercial Crime
The following AFU indicators were revised to address queries by Auditor General
“Number of Completed forfeiture cases” was changed to a % measurement.
The indicator now reads as Percentage of completed forfeiture cases (Target = 96%)
Number of freezing orders changed to Percentage of freezing orders obtained
Success rate expanded to read as Litigation success rate”
This was done to enhance the meaning of success rate in measuring the AFU’s overall performance

31. Continued Interventions to curb COE expenditure
Non filling of vacant positions
Continue to explore more interventions to re-organise work and responsibilities - provide support with current available resources.
Aspirant prosecutor programme still on hold

32. Impact of reduced CoE Non-filling of vacancies will results in:
Increase in backlog cases
Absenteeism due to increased pressure of existing staff
Increased cost on EWP services
Limited availability of prosecutors and negative impact on court performance
Threats to witnesses due to reduction of protection services

33. Forward funding needs (2018)
Staffing establishment of the new DPP Offices in Polokwane and Mpumalanga.
New Additional 53 post with total cost of R 33,8 million (R108 million over MTEF)
Enrolment of the Aspirant Prosecutor Programme (100 at cost of R38 million per year – R 109 million over MTEF)
