Madlanga Commission to grill JMPD over alleged bribery, criminal infiltration and corruption
The hearings follow serious allegations against JMPD officers, including claims linked to a multimillion-rand gemstone theft, the alleged protection of a murder suspect with suspected cartel connections and extensive traffic-related bribery.
The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) is conducting an investigation into multimillion-rand North West government tenders awarded to companies linked to ANC-linked businessman Suliman Carrim. Carrim, whose business interests have already been closely examined before the Madlanga Commission, has repeatedly failed to appear before the commission to testify.
On August 14, 2026, the Madlanga Commission resolved to lay criminal charges against Carrim for his failure to appear. The SIU will probe for improper conduct, financial irregularities, undue benefits, and potential losses to the state, as well as the joint venture's financial dealings with the late taxi boss Jotham "King Mswazi" Msibi.
