The ANC and the South African Communist Party (SACP) have welcomed the decision by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to charge Democratic Alliance Member of Parliament Glynnis Breytenbach.

The parties said the decision indicated that she had a case to answer for.

 On Friday the NPA said Breytenbach and her lawyer would appear in the Pretoria Magistrate's Court on Monday on charges of obstruction and defeating ends of justice.

The hearing related to an NPA investigation in 2012 in which Breytenbach was investigated for misconduct.

The NPA claimed Breytenbach allegedly shredded relevant papers and wiped clean her laptop while she was still the head of the organisation's specialised commercial crimes unit.
