News24 | PODCAST | The Lead: What to expect from the inquiry into SAPS ‘capture’, with Karyn Maughan

Acting deputy chief justice, Mbuyiseli Madlanga, was a key evidence leader at the Marikana Commission and also interviewed for the role of chief justice in February 2022.

Another year, another commission of inquiry.

Mbuyiseli Madlanga, the retiring acting deputy chief justice, will be chairing the country’s umpteenth commission of inquiry, this time broadly looking into alleged criminal and political interference in the South African Police Service (SAPS).

This follows KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi’s claims that the SAPS has been captured by criminal syndicates.

The inquiry’s scope will be broader than just the police; it will hone in on the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), the State Security Agency, the Judiciary, and even certain metro police departments.

Reacting to the president’s Sunday address in this Monday edition of The Lead is specialist legal journalist, Karyn Maughan.

We also look at the president’s executive consents to lifestyle audits, and two Kalahari lions that now call the Eastern Cape home.
