NPA to drop Khumalo, Mokwele charges after probe questioned at Madlanga Commission
The case, which began with arrests in June 2025, centres on allegations of fraud and corruption surrounding Mokwele’s appointment as brigadier.
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) is reportedly set to drop all charges against Crime Intelligence Head Dumisani Khumalo, Brigadier Dineo Mokwele, and other co-accused individuals. This follows revelations made at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry questioning the integrity of the investigation that led to their prosecution.
The charges, primarily centered on allegations of fraud and corruption surrounding Mokwele's appointment as brigadier, have been denied by the accused. Despite the NPA spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago confirming that prosecutors were seeking to expedite the case, it is now expected that the charges will be withdrawn by September 3. The Madlanga Commission of Inquiry has revealed that the investigation was incomplete, with prosecutors admitting to the allegations being a plot to remove Khumalo and Mokwele from their positions.
