PRETORIA, Thursday 6 August 2026 — The Madlanga Commission recommended disciplinary proceedings and immediate criminal investigations arising from evidence examined during its inquiry into the criminal justice system, the Presidency said.
The recommendations covered Lieutenant-General Shadrack Sibiya, Witness G, Sergeant Fannie Nkosi and Brown Mogotsi. The commission recommended that criminal proceedings follow only where subsequent investigations established sufficient evidence.
It also recommended an investigation by the Office of the Inspector-General for Intelligence or another competent authority into an alleged off-the-books Crime Intelligence operation involving Mogotsi and Witness G.
The referrals are based on prima facie material before the commission and do not constitute findings of criminal guilt. The Presidency said the matters would be referred to a SAPS special investigations task team. The commission’s final report is due on 16 November.
