Following tough questioning at the Madlanga Commission and the Ad Hoc Committee, we look back at the year since KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi's announcement a year defined by uncertainty, high-stakes political battles and growing pressure on those at the center of the storm.

The commission wrapped up its proceedings for the year on the 5th of December 2025.

From claims of alleged cartel infiltration to disputes over the disbandment of a key police task team, the Madlanga Commission has laid bare deep concerns about policing and accountability in Gauteng.

On 17 September this year, the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry commenced at the Brigitte Mabandla Justice College in Pretoria.

It was exactly 73 days after the explosive 6 July briefing by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.

The allegations initially set out by Mkhwanazi painted a bleak picture of what is happening within the criminal justice system, not just across the entire country, but specifically in Gauteng.

Over the course of 45 days, 37 witnesses appeared before the commission. Twenty-eight testified in Phase One, while nine appeared in Phase Two.
