MADLANGA COMMISSION ANNIVERSARY: Mkhwanazi’s ‘too grave to contemplate’ allegations gain grim weight
One year on, Madlanga’s hearings appear to corroborate KZN police commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi’s claims of corrupt networks, prompting criminal probes, disciplinary action and urgent calls to restore integrity in the SAPS.
Madlanga's Commission, initiated one year ago, now presents compelling evidence of criminal activity within South Africa's criminal justice system and the potential infiltration of state institutions by criminal networks. The Commission, chaired by Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, who first testified on September 17, 2025, alleged that corrupt networks existed within the police force.
Mkhwanazi's claims have since garnered criminal probes, disciplinary action, and calls for the restoration of integrity in the South African Police Service (SAPS).
