Gerrie Nel quits NPA, joins AfriForum?

Nicknamed "The Bulldog", Nel has led the successful prosecution for a number of high profile cases, including the conviction of Paralympian Oscar Pistorius and police chief Jackie Selebi.
Nel, who has given the NPA 24-hours notice, is said to be joining civil-rights group, AfriForum.
Here's what Twitter had to say...
Well well well...@Radio702 reports #GerrieNel quits #NPA to join @afriforum's private prosecutions unit. Didn't see that coming. pic.twitter.com/K3cl0XqQB8

#GerrieNel Afriforum is yet to confirm the move but EWN understood Nel will pursue private cases that the NPA does not prosecute.

So state prosecutor #GerrieNel has resigned with immediate effect. What effect will this have on #OscarPistorius's case?

Can understand Gerrie Nel's resignation well, but joining @afriforum is not a path I would have followed. #justsaying
