Friday marks day three of the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry into allegations of criminal capture of the country’s criminal justice system.
Evidence of WhatsApp conversations between KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi and an apparent associate and friend of now suspended police minister Senzo Mchunu has offered South Africans a glimpse inside the core of the claims being made thus far.
Mkhwanazi believes it’s “strange” that the mysterious Brown Mogotsi has had unfettered access to SAPS Crime Intelligence information, knew about developments in the ranks, and even the details of the minister’s daily diary.
Specialist legal journalist Karyn Maughan joins broadcast journalist Graeme Raubenheimer in The Lead’s hotseat to take us through the day’s proceedings thus far.
