STATES OF CAPTURE: ‘SA was close to gone’ — evidence outlines alleged plot to implode country
Striking testimony from an intelligence chief reveals how close he believed South Africa came to being comprehensively captured by a vast web of colluders. This is exceptionally worrying when paired with other developments, including the targeting of Crime Intelligence officers and suspected dodgy dealings in the anti-corruption directorate.
Dr Ntandazo Sifolo, the acting head of the National Intelligence Coordinating Committee (Nicoc), has testified at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry that South Africa was "gone" if measures were not taken to prevent a vast web of colluders from capturing the country. This testimony, revealed during the commission's hearings on November 12, 2026, highlights the alleged extent of the infiltration of the criminal justice system.
Sifolo's remarks suggest that the collapse of the country's safety structures was a very real possibility if no action was taken.
