President Cyril Ramaphosa has received the second interim report from the Madlanga Commission, which recommends criminal investigations and disciplinary action against four individuals linked to alleged corruption and criminality within the South African Police Service.

The Judicial Commission of Inquiry into Criminality, Political Interference and Corruption in the Criminal Justice System submitted its second report on 29 May, following the first interim report delivered in December 2025.

The commission has called for immediate investigations into Lieutenant General Shadrack Sibiya, Witness G, Sergeant Fannie Nkosi and Brown Mogotsi. The report recommends that disciplinary proceedings be instituted and that criminal charges be laid if sufficient evidence is found.

With one exception, the latest report confirms the recommendations made in the first interim report regarding SAPS, now that implicated parties have testified before the commission. The new recommendations stem from evidence heard since the beginning of 2026.

The commission also wants the Office of the Inspector General for Intelligence to investigate an alleged off-the-books operation within Crime Intelligence that involved Mogotsi and Witness G.

The inquiry was established following specific allegations made by Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi on 6 July 2025. A special SAPS investigations task team was set up after the first report to pursue urgent investigations into individuals identified by the commission.

The final report is expected on 16 November.

The commission’s terms of reference allow it to refer matters for immediate criminal investigation and urgent prosecution decisions based on the nature of allegations and evidence uncovered during proceedings.
