KZN retired judge: Never collusion in my time on the bench
His allegations of corruption are not just limited to the rot in the SAPS, but he also claims the justice system is infiltrated.
Mkhwanazi says there is collusion between judges and criminals.
It's an allegation that does not sit well with the first black Judge President of KwaZulu-Natal,
Vuka Tshabalala.

The former judge knows all too well about being a trailblazer. His law career spanned decades. From being the first black advocate of the Natal Bar Council in 1969, to being the first black Deputy Judge President in October 1998, and finally Judge President.
Tshabalala's journey in jurisprudence was not an easy one, and has been full of many obstacles.
A revolt from his colleagues at the Natal High Court, and even an aggressive journalist in a television interview. All of this is contained in his newly launched book 'On Trial'.

Having served the judiciary with integrity and dedication, Judge Tshabalala is shocked by Mkhwanazi's allegations of collusion, between justice officials and criminals.
Among his many achievements, judge Tshabalala would like to be remembered, as pioneer of judicial transformation. He introduced black women judges at a time when it was frowned upon.

EFF turns 12: Can Malema's newfound maturity overcome his troubled past?
As the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) recently celebrated its 12th anniversary, Julius Malema — its co-founder and self-styled commander-in-chief — stood at the symbolic centre of a political movement that has defied expectations, disrupted the status quo, and, undeniably, altered the terms of public debate in South Africa. But as the EFF matures, so too must we sharpen our scrutiny — not only of its political contributions but of the ethical terrain its leadership has traversed. There is no gainsaying the fact that Malema has, in recent years, displayed a notable degree of political maturation. The man once derided as the enfant terrible of South African politics has increasingly adopted a more measured, calculated posture. The inflammatory rhetoric, frequent provocations and theatrical defiance that once defined his engagements have, at times, been replaced with disciplined messaging and tactical manoeuvring. This shift is a welcome development and could well signal a new chapter for his party, and South African politics more broadly. Yet, this apparent evolution cannot be appraised in isolation from Malema's chequered history — a history marked not only by political controversy but by deeply troubling allegations of corruption, the abuse of power, and ethical compromise. Long before the red overalls and parliamentary theatrics, Malema's political ascent was shadowed by his entanglement in what many regard as the systematic plunder of Limpopo's public coffers. Central to this was his association with On-Point Engineering, a company controversially awarded multimillion-rand contracts by the Limpopo Department of Roads and Transport during his tenure as president of the ANC Youth League. A 2012 Public Protector's investigation found that On-Point had only one shareholder, Guilder Investments, which in turn was owned equally by the Gwangwa Family Trust and the Ratanang Family Trust. Beneficial ownership Critically, the Ratanang Family Trust's sole beneficiary was Malema's young son. Initially, Malema himself was the sole trustee, later joined by his then 83-year-old grandmother, raising serious questions about beneficial ownership, financial oversight and governance. The investigation revealed that On-Point was not merely a service provider, but played a gatekeeping role in procurement decisions — effectively influencing the awarding of subcontracts, some of which were suspected of being structured to benefit politically connected individuals. This was not a lapse in judgement; it pointed to a deliberate and concealed enrichment scheme involving public funds. Soon after, Malema came under fire from the South African Revenue Service (SARS), which conducted a forensic audit that exposed undeclared income and lifestyle expenditures grossly disproportionate to his known earnings. SARS estimated his tax debt to exceed R16-million, leading to the attachment and auctioning of his assets, including an incomplete Sandton mansion, a farm in Limpopo and other property. For a self-proclaimed revolutionary, these revelations laid bare a disconcerting contradiction between rhetoric and reality. Yet perhaps the most corrosive episode in Malema's recent political career is his and his party's alleged indirect benefit from the looting and eventual collapse of VBS Mutual Bank — a scandal that devastated vulnerable municipalities and poor rural depositors. While Malema has yet to be charged, forensic reports and investigative journalism suggest that he and individuals close to him — notably former deputy EFF leader Floyd Shivambu — benefited from illicit payments, some of which reportedly funded EFF events and lifestyle costs. His denials have been vociferous, but remain unaccompanied by transparency or accountability measures within the party. Taken together, these episodes reflect a troubling pattern: one in which 'revolutionary credentials' are paired with allegations of corruption, asset concealment, and the opportunistic use of public institutions for private gain. The EFF, which positions itself as a moral antidote to ANC rot, has yet to reconcile these contradictions or offer credible self-correction. And yet, we now see a more measured Malema — an ostensibly more mature figure engaging more constructively in parliamentary debates and public discourse. His interventions around land reform, economic justice and youth unemployment have been impactful. He commands a loyal political base and has injected energy into a lethargic political ecosystem. But maturity in politics is not merely about improved tone or tactical discipline. It is fundamentally about ethical consistency and principled leadership. If the EFF is to be taken seriously as a party of the future, it must demonstrate that it can rise above the temptations of patronage and personal aggrandisement that have engulfed its political adversaries. Its internal culture must mirror the constitutional accountability it demands of others. The EFF's decision to provide a platform to amaXhosa King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo — who used the occasion of the party's birthday celebrations to hurl wild, intemperate invective at President Cyril Ramaphosa — and Malema's persistent posture on the Dubul' iBhunu chant undoubtedly sullied the optics. That the mercurial monarch, himself a controversial figure with a chequered past, was afforded such a platform not only undermined the dignity of the event but raised questions about the party's judgement and its selective application of respect for democratic decorum. Criminal case For Malema, who is currently awaiting the outcome of a criminal case stemming from his public discharge of a firearm, the challenge is even more acute. To lead meaningfully in the next phase of our democracy, he must move beyond carefully curated optics and face the hard reckoning of past conduct. That means cooperating fully with law enforcement agencies, inviting independent scrutiny of his personal and party finances, and upholding the rule of law even when it is inconvenient. The moral high ground cannot be claimed while cloaked in unresolved allegations. Poignantly, recent developments in the conviction of a self-confessed accused — and the ongoing trial of other co-accused — in the assassination of Sindiso Magaqa, Malema's former trusted Youth League lieutenant for whom he has long demanded justice, must surely come as a welcome relief to him. As the EFF celebrates its 12th year of existence, it stands at a crossroads. Its success will be determined not only by its ability to mobilise and inspire, but by its willingness to hold itself to the standards it professes. South Africans are tired — not just of corruption, but of hypocrisy masquerading as radicalism.

AK-47 used in DJ Sumbody's murder linked to 3 more killings, including DJ Vintos
The South African Police Service (SAPS) has confirmed that the AK-47 used in the killing of popular musician DJ Sumbody has now been linked to three additional murders, including that of Soweto-based Hector 'DJ Vintos' Buthelezi. Businessman Katiso Molefe, former police officer Michael Pule Tau, Tiego Floyd Mabusela, and Musa Kekana appeared in the Alexander Magistrate's Court in Johannesburg on Tuesday morning. Three of the four men accused in the assassination of DJ Sumbody, whose real name was Oupa John Sefoka, now also face an additional charge related to the murder of Don Tindleni. All four are charged with DJ Vintos' murder. DJ Vintos was gunned down in March 2022 outside a nightclub in Orlando East, Soweto. Speaking outside the court, national police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe said the suspects were traveling in a BMW X3 at the time of the shooting. 'In relation to the Alexandra Magistrate's Court, the SAPS Political Killings Task Team, working closely with the Gauteng Organised Crime Unit, has brought two additional cases against the four accused who were previously arrested in connection with the Aman Sefoka (DJ Sumbody) case and the killings of his two bodyguards, Sibusiso Khumalo and Sandile Lemeza,' said Mathe. She said the firearm used, a single AK-47, has now been forensically linked to four murders. The murders included that of DJ Sumbody and his two bodyguards in November 2022, DJ Vintos in March 2022, Don Tindleni, killed in a BMW 5 Series on the N1 freeway in March 2023, and the Aman Sefoka case, as part of broader investigations 'What is significant is that one AK-47 has been definitively connected to all four murder scenes,' Mathe said. 'Beyond ballistic links, there is also overwhelming additional evidence that has been pieced together by our investigators.'

Parliament forms Ad Hoc Committee to investigate serious allegations by KZN police commissioner
Mayibongwe Maqhina | Published 5 days ago The National Assembly on Wednesday night unanimously agreed to form an Ad Hoc Committee tasked with investigating the serious allegations made by KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner, Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. This decision comes after the adoption of a report from the portfolio committees on Police and Justice and Constitutional Development, which were requested to consider the appropriate approach to deal with the allegations. ANC chief whip Mdumiseni Ntuli announced that the 11-member committee will consist of four members from the ANC, two each from the DA and the MK Party, one member from the EFF, and two representatives to be recommended by other parties. Ntuli said the committee will report to the National Assembly by not later than October 31. He said the committee's terms of reference included t he alleged unlawful decision by Police Minister Senzo Mchunu to disband the Political Killings Task Team, t he alleged unlawful removal of 121 case dockets from the Political Killings Task Team on the direction of Deputy National Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya, and t he alleged moratorium by Mchunu on filling vacancies within the SAPS Crime Intelligence Unit. Others are t he nature and implications of the relationship between SAPS senior leadership and certain members of the public, w hether the award of the R360 million contract to Vusumuzi Matlala's company for the provision of healthcare services to SAPS was irregular. The committee will also look into t he alleged interference by the Investigative Directorate Against Corruption in police matters, including judicial issues, and also c onsider the need for legislative policy and institutional reform to restore public confidence in the criminal justice system. Parties have thrown their weight behind the Ad Hoc Committee. ANC MP Samuel Moela said the allegations made by Mkhwanazi cannot be left unexamined. 'General Mkhwanazi's assertion, if accurate, paints a disturbing picture of how certain elements might be undermining the integrity of law enforcement institutions for political or personal gain. 'Parliament has both the responsibility and the authority to get to the bottom of these claims, not for political point scoring, but to protect the democratic institutions so many South Africans fought to build,' Moela said. DA deputy spokesperson on police, Lisa Schickerling, said the evidence Mkhwanazi presented raised the greatest questions about the conduct of Mchunu, Sibiya, senior police officers, and even members of the judiciary. 'The National Assembly must hold the executive to account, even in the face of parallel investigations. We welcome the urgency with which this House has resolved to independently oversee the political and institutional dimensions of this crisis,' said Schickerling. MK Party's Sibonelo Nomvalo saluted Mkhwanazi for taking on the perceived untouchables by exposing criminal syndicates within the criminal justice system. 'Our clarion call is that Lieutenant-General Mkhwanazi must appear before the Ad Hoc Committee in Parliament and expose all the police officers, prosecutors, judges, Members of Parliament, and all officials in the Department of Police who are in cahoots with criminals," he said. 'An allegation by Lieutenant-General Mkhwanazi against judges justifies our valid call for a lifestyle audit against judges. It is our firm belief that judges are human beings. They are not a paragon of morality, and therefore are corruptible honourable members,' Nomvalo said. EFF MP Rebecca Mohlala said the SAPS was a seriously compromised service, and its top brass enabled the capture of the institution for nefarious reasons. Mohlala said Parliament should get to the bottom of the allegations and reassert its role in providing oversight to the executive. 'We support the recommendation of the report for the establishment of an Ad Hoc Committee to conduct an inquiry to get to the bottom of corruption,' she said. [email protected]
