SAPS Crime Intelligence Boss Lt-Gen Dumisani Khumalo Honoured for Exposing ‘Big Five’ Cartel as New National Intelligence Centre is Launched

Hlakaniphile Magadlela — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 21:23:14 +0000

Lieutenant-General Dumisani Khumalo, the Divisional Commissioner of Crime Intelligence in the South African Police Service (SAPS), has been honoured with a special commemorative insignia coin by Minister in the Presidency, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni.

The award was presented on Tuesday, 14 April 2026, during the official launch of the National Centre for Intelligence Coordination (NCIC). Khumalo was recognised as one of the key leaders responsible for driving South Africa’s new unified intelligence efforts.

Khumalo rose to prominence after testifying at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry in 2025. As the former head of the Political Killings Task Team in KwaZulu-Natal, he exposed how criminal syndicates had infiltrated policing, politics, and other state institutions.

He famously revealed the activities of the so-called “Big Five” cartel — a powerful Gauteng-based network allegedly involved in drug trafficking, contract killings, cross-border vehicle hijackings, tender fraud, and extortion. He publicly named Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala and Katiso “KT” Molefe as key figures with high-level political connections.

The commemorative coins, which carry the NCIC insignia, were also awarded to other senior officials: Dr N Sifolo (Acting Coordinator for Intelligence), Ambassador T Msimanga (Acting Director-General of the State Security Agency), and Lieutenant-General T Mxakato (Chief of Defence Intelligence).Receiving the coin is not just symbolic — it represents a serious responsibility to deliver timely, coordinated intelligence from across crime, defence, domestic, and foreign streams.

The NCIC was established under Section 4 of the National Strategic Intelligence Act of 1994 to reduce fragmentation between intelligence agencies and better support government decision-making on national security threats.

DAY 2 of the Ad Hoc Committee hearings sees General Dumisani Khumalo facing intense questioning from Members of Parliament over explosive claims and findings linked to corruption, accountability, and the state of policing in Gauteng.

MPs pressed Khumalo on the credibility of his analysis, the implications for the integrity of the South African Police Service, and the steps being taken to address alleged systemic failures and infiltration by criminal elements.

The session forms part of Parliament’s broader oversight process, aimed at establishing the full extent of the allegations, identifying those responsible, and determining whether urgent interventions or structural reforms are required.

This hearing is critical to restoring public confidence and ensuring accountability within law enforcement institutions.

Khumalo Claims Political Pressure Behind Mkhwanazi’s Exit as Acting Police Chief

Tshepiso Mofokeng — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 21:31:07 +0000

SAPS Crime Intelligence Head, Lt-Gen. Dumisani Khumalo, told the Madlanga Commission that political interference played a role in the removal of Lt-Gen. Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi as acting National Commissioner back in 2012.

Testifying in Pretoria, Khumalo rejected suggestions that Mkhwanazi stepped down voluntarily. “He decided to move, but not out of free will,” Khumalo said, adding that every acting head trying to tackle corruption was sidelined before real progress could be made.

Khumalo himself is not free of controversy. His testimony comes while he faces ongoing legal battles, including fraud and corruption charges following his arrest in June. Despite this, he detailed his 34-year career, pointing to persistent institutional and political pressure within Crime Intelligence.

Mkhwanazi previously told the commission that after his removal, he returned to work as “just a police official.”

Khumalo, who currently leads both the Crime Intelligence Division and the Political Killings Task Team, is expected to continue testifying as the inquiry digs deeper into corruption and interference within the police service.
