A Commission Of Inquiry

Rabia Mayet | rabiamayet@radioislam.co.za

17 July 2025

1-minute read

Wayne Duvenhage of Organising, Undoing Tax Abuse, OUTA, unpacked Pres Ramaphosa’s decision to establish a commission of inquiry into Lt General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi’s explosive claims about corruption at the top of the South African Police Services.

The commission is the judicial “route to go” says Wayne, but with public trust at an all-time low and commissions having “no action that follows them,” is this just another unending quest for justice? Duvenhage advocates for the NPA to run parallel with the commission to get the facts and start acting against people in positions of power, to implicate and charge them for their wrongdoing.

President Ramaphosa has made it clear that they are not going to wait as long with this commission as they did with the Zondo commission. Firoz Cachalia of the National Anti-Corruption Advisory Council has been chosen by the President as the new Police Commissioner. The council has been trying to push the anti-corruption agenda forward and sign it off with Ramaphosa. According to Duvenhage, Cachalia is an honest person, au-fait with the law, but whether he has “the ability to lead and drive and really reform those required within the policing structures and the system” remains to be seen.

In the meanwhile, what happens if the evidence goes missing? Duvenhage says that “in today’s world with digital fingerprints all over the place,” it is extremely difficult to lose information, especially if it is “downloaded and saved and documented.” Missing information usually resurfaces, and the truth will eventually prevail, even if it takes time.
