MKHWANAZI WARNS OF TOTAL COLLAPSE OF SA’S CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM | MADLANGA COMMISSION DAY 1

MDNtv — Sat, 16 May 2026 17:22:03 +0000

South Africa watched in shock as Lt Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi delivered explosive testimony before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry into alleged corruption, political interference, and criminal infiltration inside the country’s criminal justice system.

In dramatic opening proceedings, the Commission warned that if the allegations are proven true, it could signal “doom” for South Africa’s criminal justice system. The inquiry is now investigating claims involving senior police officials, political interference, organised crime syndicates, tender corruption, and alleged attempts to sabotage sensitive investigations.

Mkhwanazi detailed how investigations into political killings, organised crime, and underworld-linked syndicates allegedly exposed deep corruption within SAPS and other institutions. The Commission also heard how cellphone records, task team investigations, and internal police operations may reveal a wider network of criminal influence inside law enforcement structures.

This is one of the most consequential public inquiries in democratic South Africa — with potential implications for the future of policing, governance, and the rule of law.

This is a news update from MDNtv, when things happen fast, you’re always in the know.

EFF leader Julius Malema is now facing a decisive moment in his firearm case, as the court hears arguments that could determine whether he is sent to prison.

The case follows the controversial incident where Malema was seen with a rifle at a public event, leading to charges that have gripped national attention.

The state is pushing for a jail sentence, arguing that the conduct was reckless and posed a serious risk to the public.

Malema’s legal team is fighting back, insisting that a prison sentence would be excessive and unjust.

With the court now weighing its decision, South Africa is watching closely as the outcome could have major political implications.
