Where Day 1 established the framework, mandate and historical context of the inquiry, Day 2 moved deeper into the mechanics of alleged interference within law enforcement structures and the internal dynamics that, according to Mkhwanazi, undermined sensitive investigations.

The proceedings reinforced that the commission’s task is not limited to isolated incidents, but to examine whether systemic dysfunction has been deliberately engineered.

Continuation of Mkhwanazi’s evidence under oath

Mkhwanazi resumed his testimony by confirming that his evidence on Day 2 flowed directly from the written statement and annexures already placed before the commission. He reiterated that his appearance was not motivated by personal grievance or factional contestation, but by what he described as a sustained pattern of operational obstruction encountered across multiple policing environments.

Operational decisions and alleged manipulation of investigations

Day 2 focused heavily on decisions taken at senior management level that, according to Mkhwanazi, had the effect of weakening or derailing active investigations. He testified that in several instances, arrests authorised through established operational channels were followed by unexplained delays, changes in command responsibility, or the withdrawal of investigative resources.

Internal contestation and leadership instability

The testimony further addressed instability within key intelligence and operational units. Mkhwanazi described frequent leadership changes, suspensions and acting appointments that disrupted continuity and weakened institutional memory.

Role of intelligence structures examined

A significant portion of Day 2 examined the role of intelligence within SAPS. Mkhwanazi testified that intelligence reports identifying risks to investigations were at times disregarded or overridden.

Impact on investigator safety and morale

The commission was told that operational uncertainty had direct consequences for investigator safety and morale. Investigators working on politically linked cases reported feeling isolated and unsupported.

Clarification on scope and fairness of inquiry

Evidence leaders emphasised that the commission does not accept any version of events at face value and reaffirmed commitments to procedural fairness.

What Day 2 added to the overall picture

Day 2 built on the foundation laid on the opening day by shifting the focus from broad allegations to operational detail, suggesting possible systemic compromise if claims are substantiated.

Day 1 centred on Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, whose earlier public allegations led to the establishment of the commission. His testimony placed institutional context, timelines and alleged patterns of political interference and criminal infiltration before the commission.

The inquiry is tasked with determining whether South Africa’s criminal justice system has been compromised through corruption, political influence and organised crime.

Opening submissions stressed impartiality, noting that the commission does not presume the truth or falsity of any allegation. All claims will be tested through sworn evidence, with implicated individuals afforded the right to respond. The commission further warned that obstruction of its work constitutes a criminal offence under the Commissions Act.

Mkhwanazi confirmed under oath that he had prepared and submitted a detailed written statement supported by annexures, which were formally admitted into evidence. He outlined his SAPS career before addressing the substance of the allegations that led to his July 2025 media briefing.

He explained that his public statements were based on investigative patterns, intelligence assessments and operational experience rather than speculation.

A significant portion of Day 1 focused on the Political Killings Task Team. Mkhwanazi traced its origins to earlier interventions in KwaZulu-Natal, explaining how political violence necessitated a specialised, multidisciplinary unit. The task team later expanded nationally as links between political violence and organised crime emerged.

The commission was presented with a timeline of material events, including the handling of more than 120 investigation dockets, arrests linked to high-profile cases, internal SAPS decisions affecting intelligence leadership, and the cancellation of contracts tied to politically exposed individuals.

Cellphone records obtained during arrests were said to reveal communication patterns suggesting possible political and institutional interference in investigations.

Mkhwanazi further testified that investigators experienced intimidation, unexplained engagements by senior officials and interference with forensic processes. Some investigators were allegedly offered inducements not to oppose bail applications, while others reported threats connected to individuals with links inside SAPS.

The commission acknowledged that certain evidence may initially appear hearsay but confirmed it would be tested through corroborating witnesses and documentation.

Day 1 concluded with the commission outlining a phased approach. The first phase will focus on detailed evidence from Mkhwanazi, followed by testimony from senior police officials, task team members, prosecutors and expert witnesses.

Transparency was reaffirmed as the default position, with limited closed sessions only where necessary to protect ongoing investigations.

Graceful and composed, Dr Omogiafo accepted the honour with a deep sense of gratitude and pride. She stood as a symbol of what African women can achieve when determination, discipline and purpose come together.

“Who said a mother can’t do it?”

After receiving her award, she addressed a question many women in leadership face: How do you manage everything?

Her response was honest and empowering.

“I am always a mother. I am always a wife. I am always a Group CEO. And I am always Owen. The key is to integrate everything. Work–life balance is hard to achieve. Work–life integration is what works.”

Leading Nigeria’s Powerhouse

The Power of a Support System

Dr Omogiafo’s leadership journey is anchored in the people around her. She expressed heartfelt appreciation for her husband, her children Sosa, Precious and Abigail, her parents, in-laws, trusted executive team and close friends.

A Message to Young Women

The atmosphere was electric at the 13th Annual All Africa Business Leaders Awards (AABLA) as Lincoln Mali, CEO of Lesaka Technologies, was honoured with the prestigious Business Leader of the Year 2025 award. The accolade recognises exceptional leadership, innovation, and transformative impact on the African business landscape.

Still absorbing the moment, Mali expressed deep gratitude:

“I’m humbled… I’m still numb. This award is a tribute to our team.”

From Loss-Making to Industry-Leading

Lesaka Technologies — previously struggling and loss-making — has, under Mali’s leadership, become a profitable, community-driven fintech powerhouse.

Lesaka serves some of the most overlooked sectors in South Africa:

• Township and village merchants

• Spaza shops and taverns

• Grant beneficiaries

• Underserved consumers excluded by traditional banking

“We deal with people who are often ignored by mainstream institutions,” Mali said. “We wanted to show them dignity — to show they are valued customers. They repaid us with loyalty.”

A Leadership Approach Rooted in Respect

Mali’s philosophy is people-centric:

 “Respect and dignity matter. My colleagues must trust me, and I must trust them. I always communicate the WHY. Our why is the unseen and underserved customer.”

This clarity of purpose has played a vital role in Lesaka’s turnaround.

AABLA Recognition as a Platform for Inspiration

Beyond personal achievement, Mali sees the award as an opportunity to inspire young Africans.

 “We’ve never fully told the Lesaka story,” he said. “Tonight I shared it, and I hope it inspires the next generation of leaders.”

His message carries weight, given his own journey:

“At 18, I had been expelled from school. I was in and out of jail. I saw no future.”

Today, he leads a fintech listed on both the Nasdaq and the JSE.

 “Your past cannot determine your future,” he told the youth. “It’s the fire inside you that matters. I believe in you.”

Continuous Learning as a Superpower

Asked about the role of education, Mali stressed the importance of lifelong learning:

“Education matters — not for certificates, but for knowledge. The world is changing fast. To make an impact, you must keep learning.”

AABLA 2025 Marks a Milestone for Lesaka

As applause filled the room, it was clear that Mali’s leadership — grounded in humility, service, and dignity — is shaping not only Lesaka’s success but inspiring leadership across the continent.

For Lesaka Technologies and the communities it serves, this award marks a powerful milestone and the beginning of an even greater chapter.

TAXI BOSS MOLEFE MOEKELETSI FUNERAL SERVICE

“Constitutional Court proceedings

South Africa’s extradition system is facing one of its most significant legal tests in years as the Constitutional Court considers who has the lawful authority to request the extradition of persons from foreign countries. The court is being asked to clarify whether this power belongs to the Minister of Justice or to the National Prosecuting Authority. The outcome could reshape how the state brings fugitives back to South Africa to stand trial.

  How the dispute started

The present uncertainty was triggered by a 2024 Supreme Court of Appeal judgment involving Johnathan Schultz who was due to be extradited from the United States. Schultz argued that the National Prosecuting Authority did not have the power to initiate an extradition request. The Supreme Court of Appeal agreed and ruled that in terms of the Extradition Act it is the Minister of Justice who must make such a request.

Importantly the Supreme Court of Appeal said that its interpretation applied retrospectively. That meant extradition requests that had already been made by the National Prosecuting Authority could now be challenged.

  Effect on the Moroadi Cholota matter

The ruling soon affected a high profile corruption related case. Relying on the Schultz judgment the Free State High Court overturned the extradition of Moroadi Cholota who had been the personal assistant to former Free State premier Ace Magashule. She was wanted in connection with the R255 million Free State asbestos project.

The court held that her extradition from the United States was unlawful because the request had been made by the National Prosecuting Authority and not by the Minister of Justice. As a result she no longer had to appear in South Africa to face the criminal charges.

NPA warns of serious consequences

The National Prosecuting Authority is now appealing both the Schultz decision and the subsequent ruling in the Cholota matter. Advocate Kevin Hopkins SC appearing for the National Prosecuting Authority told the Constitutional Court that if the Supreme Court of Appeal judgment is applied in full and retrospectively then many of South Africa’s previous and pending extradition requests can be reviewed and possibly set aside.

He told the court that this could have serious and harmful consequences for the criminal justice system because extradition is a vital tool for ensuring that accused persons cannot evade prosecution by leaving the country.

Hopkins explained that for decades the National Prosecuting Authority and its predecessors had been initiating outgoing extradition requests. This was done openly and in good faith. No court and no minister had ever suggested that the authority did not exist.

A gap in the Extradition Act

Hopkins further argued that the Extradition Act describes in detail how requests from foreign states to South Africa must be handled. However it does not describe in the same way how South Africa should make requests to other countries. Because of this legislative gap it was always assumed that the prosecuting authority could initiate outgoing extraditions especially where the purpose was to bring an accused person before a South African court.

  Trengove argues for the State

Advocate Wim Trengove SC who appeared for the prosecution in the Cholota matter told the Constitutional Court that the High Court was wrong to find that it lacked jurisdiction. He said the matter is clearly in the public interest because it affects future extradition cases and the ability of South Africa to prosecute crime that has an international element.

Trengove submitted that the Supreme Court of Appeal was not correct to declare that only the Minister may request extradition. He drew a distinction between incoming requests which are diplomatic and which fall under the Minister and outgoing requests which are prosecutorial and which fall under the National Prosecuting Authority. He also pointed out that Cholota was extradited under a valid order of a United States court which meant that the extradition was in substance lawful.

  Why this case matters

The Constitutional Court’s final decision will decide more than just the Schultz and Cholota matters. If the Supreme Court of Appeal’s ruling is confirmed and applied to past cases then a number of fugitives may attempt to challenge their extradition on technical grounds. This could weaken South Africa’s ability to prosecute cross border corruption fraud and organised crime.

However if the Constitutional Court finds that the National Prosecuting Authority may lawfully initiate outgoing extradition requests then the status of previous requests will be protected and the criminal justice system will retain an important mechanism for bringing accused persons back to South Africa.
