This week, the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry continued to peel back layers of alleged corruption, political interference and organised crime within South Africa's law enforcement ranks.

Spokesperson Jeremy Michaels confirmed that the commission remains on track to deliver its interim report by mid-December, with discussions underway with President Cyril Ramaphosa to extend the final deadline.

Testifying this week, Hawks Divisional Commissioner Patrick Mbotho denied allegations that his members interfered in the December 2024 operation to arrest businessman and murder accused Katiso "KT" Molefe.

Meanwhile, Crime Intelligence Head Lieutenant General Dumisani Khumalo resumed his testimony, defending the work of the Provincial Killing Task Team and calling it a model for future investigations.

Suspended Ekurhuleni Metro Police Chief Jabulani Mapiyeye closed the week with explosive testimony.

Mapiyeye told the inquiry that his deputy, Julius Mkhwanazi, turned the Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department into his personal fiefdom, awarding tenders and allegedly colluding with alleged crime boss Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala.

He claimed city officials enabled the misconduct while he was on leave, effectively sidelining his authority.

To unpack the implications of this week's revelations, we're joined by criminal expert Professor Jean Steyn but before that here is a wrap up of this week's proceedings.
