The 57-year-old was arrested by the SAPS National Cold Case Unit and is expected to appear before the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday.
Former police general and presidential adviser has been arrested after being found in possession of over 100 rounds of police-issued ammunition and documents related to the investigation into the murder of Lieutenant-General Sindile Mfazi. The 57-year-old was apprehended by the SAPS National Cold Case Unit and is set to appear before Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday.
The arrest was made following a search-and-seizure operation at his Centurion home on July 6, 2026, where investigators confiscated the ammunition and relevant documents. Police stated that there is no valid reason for the former officer to have the state-issued ammunition, and he faces a charge under the Firearms Control Act 60 of 2000.
