South Africa’s (SA) President Cyril Ramaphosa says he will await reports from both the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry and Parliament’s Ad Hoc Committee before commenting on specific issues arising from their proceedings.
The two bodies are investigating KwaZulu-Natal province police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi’s claims that senior police officials, including embattled Minister Senzo Mchunu, are corrupt, interfere in police operations, and have ties to criminal syndicates.
Ramaphosa described the investigations as a painful but necessary process aimed at restoring integrity within SA’s criminal justice system.
“It is a necessary process that we must go through to find out exactly where there are weaknesses,” Ramaphosa said. “And where there is corruption, we must deal with it; and where there is capture, we must deal with it. This is the best way, in a very transparent manner, to enforce accountability and reposition our police.”
