By the end of that Sunday, the national conversation had changed. A press conference led by KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi would send shockwaves through South Africa as he revealed serious allegations of fraud, corruption, money laundering, criminal networks, and alleged political interference within the country’s criminal justice sector. The revelations marked the beginning of a process that would raise difficult questions about accountability, governance, and public trust in the institutions responsible for protecting South Africans. One week later, President Cyril Ramaphosa addressed the nation, announcing the establishment of what would become widely known as the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry. The first public hearings began on Wednesday, 17 September 2025, with the opening session featuring highly anticipated testimony from Mkhwanazi, the man whose allegations had set the inquiry in motion. In this special limited series, Jacaranda FM Newswatch Newscast Editor Gerda de Sousa speaks to Newswatch journalist Anastasi Mokgobu , who has been covering the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry’s public hearings.
