Madlanga Commission marks one year of testimony on police corruption

Madlanga Commission – which is tasked with investigating allegations of criminality, political interference and corruption in the criminal justice system – is set to mark the one-year anniversary since its first public hearing on the 17th of September 2025#MorningLive#SABCNews — SABCNews_MorningLive (@MorningLiveSABC) September 13, 2026 While the Madlanga Commission has heard from more than 100 witnesses since it was established last year, at the heart of its investigation is the disbanding of the Political Killings Task Team, or PKTT.

One of the questions the Commission has been grappling with is whether Mchunu’s decision to disband the PKTT may have affected sensitive investigations into alleged criminal syndicates, including those allegedly linked to attempted-murder accused, Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala.” Evidence before the Commission has also raised allegations that criminal syndicates were assisted by members of the South African Police Service (SAPS) in attempting to infiltrate law enforcement agencies.
