Who was Lt.Gen Mfazi?
Lieutenant-General Sindile Christopher "Pitso" Mfazi was a highly decorated South African law enforcement official who served as the Deputy National Commissioner of Crime Detection for the South African Police Service (SAPS).
He passed away on 8 July 2021 at the age of 59.
While his death was officially reported at the time as being caused by Covid-19 complications, subsequent forensic developments and parliamentary testimonies have firmly pointed toward a fatal poisoning and targeted assassination linked to his high-level corruption investigations.
In July 2021, SAPS management announced that Mfazi died of Covid-19.
Suspicious of foul play, his family secured a court order to exhume his body for an independent forensic and toxicology analysis.
The independent results conclusively revealed that Mfazi had been poisoned with liquid casting resin (a synthetic industrial chemical), which caused him to choke to death.
According to testimony presented by whistleblowers and former intelligence officers to Parliament's ad hoc committee, Mfazi was assassinated because he was actively probing massive multi-billion rand corruption networks.
He was investigating a coordinated siphoning operation involving a R1.6 billion Covid-19 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)procurement fraud ring operating directly out of SAPS headquarters.
The Mfazi Foundation has noted that Mfazi was a lead investigator reviewing the controversial Phala Phala farm burglary matter and the alleged misuse of SAPS Crime Intelligence funds.
Before his death, Mfazi reportedly confided in close intelligence analysts that he considered SAPS national headquarters to be an active, compromised "crime scene".
Whistleblowers testified that while Mfazi’s body was still upstairs in his house on the night of his death, senior police officials from SAPS national head office arrived at his home to seize and remove his investigative files before his widow could arrive.
The Mfazi family and foundation have publically called on former Crime Intelligence heads to disclose and return the missing dossier of investigative records taken from his estate.
Over 15,000 citizens have signed a petition backed by the family calling on the Speaker of Parliament for a formal transparent inquiry into the state’s failure to make a breakthrough.
