## Resource

IDAC’s controversial push to arrest top SAPS leaders over Crime Intelligence appointments has ignited a firestorm of legal, political, and ethical questions — with the Madlanga Commission now probing whether the anti-corruption unit overstepped its mandate. A senior investigator’s admission that arrests were based on intent, not proven crimes, and the suspension of warrants without due process have fueled accusations of abuse and political meddling. Even the Presidency was blindsided by the moves, while a new oversight judge vows to investigate complaints against IDAC’s head — including past controversies — assuring the public that no individual can dismantle the institution, but accountability must be upheld to strengthen it.
