The Madlanga Commission is exposing what many of us have warned about for years.

In December 2024, I received a lawyer’s letter from Ian Small Smith on behalf of Major-General Feroz Khan.

The letter accused me of making “defamatory” remarks, said it was “not unreasonable” to understand my reference to a “major general” as a reference to Khan, and demanded that I formally retract and “cease and desist” from making similar remarks.

The issues were already clear then: questionable procurement, the secret service fund, alleged media smear campaigns, and defeating the ends of justice in relation to a cocaine seizure case.

Now, Khan is at the centre of the very kind of Crime Intelligence crisis we warned about. He has already been charged and arrested, and where the evidence supports it, further charges must be added or further cases opened.

The Commission has now heard serious allegations involving Khan, his seized devices, alleged interference in investigations, and the wider capture of sensitive policing structures.

We also cannot ignore the role of Lieutenant-General Molefe Fani.

It must be explicitly answered why former Police Minister Bheki Cele and General Fannie Masemola, after being briefed by the @RSASIU about findings relating to Fani’s role in the COVID-19 PPE matter while he was still at National Treasury, allowed him to continue as SAPS Divisional Commissioner for Supply Chain Management.

That decision placed a person already carrying serious procurement controversy into one of the most powerful procurement positions in the police.

What was exposed at the Madlanga Commission today opens a whole new can of worms. This is no longer only about one tender, one general, or one questionable appointment. It points to a system where warnings were ignored, senior officials were protected, and accountability only arrived when commissions, court papers and seized devices forced the truth into the open.

Khan’s rise through the ranks also needs proper scrutiny. He reportedly moved from captain to full colonel, skipping lieutenant colonel, and later from colonel to major-general, skipping brigadier.

If that was irregular, who approved it, who protected it, and why?

South Africans deserve a police service run by people committed to law, discipline and integrity, not a Crime Intelligence environment where warnings are met with lawyer’s letters while the truth only surfaces years later.

Funny how the lawyer’s letters arrived quickly, but accountability took years.

Zuma is currently trying to appeal an order to he pay back the R28,9million in taxpayers’ money spent on his corruption trial costs.
If he fails, the State Attorney can attach his presidential pension to get that money back.
Either way, he’s facing consequences.

Brilliant South Africans who grew up here, learned to think here, were inspired here and educated here are reaching the highest heights around the world, but especially in the USA. @elonmusk is the most successful and famous, but there are many others. The sad thing is that fewer and fewer South Africans with this kind of potential are still achieving it in SA. This is the direct result of 32 years of grudge politics, over-regulation, maladministration, racial laws and everything that hinders private initiative on a daily basis. This must change!

Feedback on SAPS members allegedly linked to the taxi industry:

Over the past few months, we have exposed a number of SAPS members at police stations and specialised units in the Western Cape who are alleged to be involved in, or improperly linked to, the taxi industry.

We have now received encouraging feedback.

More than 20 police members have been criminally charged.

More than 20 have also been charged under SAPS disciplinary regulations.

Several members have already resigned.

This includes junior members, station commanders and other more senior officials.

This is not a grey area. SAPS members may not be involved in the taxi industry in a way that creates a financial interest, conflict of interest or improper outside remunerative work. It is simply not lawful for police members to have such involvement where it compromises, or appears to compromise, their policing duties.

Police officers cannot be expected to fairly police, investigate or regulate an industry in which they have private interests.

This is not about attacking ordinary police officers. It is about protecting the integrity of SAPS and ensuring that communities are not policed by people who may be compromised by private business interests.

We have now submitted further information to the National Commissioner’s office to ensure that action continues on the ground.

And this is only the Western Cape so far.

We will soon begin focusing on the rest of the country, because this is clearly a major problem across South Africa.

The law must apply equally, especially to those entrusted to enforce it.

“Calls Grow For Dr Pieter Groenewald To Become President After Correctional Services Saves More Than R77 Million Through Prison Bakeries, Agricultural Projects And Self-Sufficiency Programmes” 🇿🇦🔥

South Africans are increasingly praising Minister of Correctional Services Dr Pieter Groenewald after the Department revealed major savings achieved through prison bakeries, agricultural production, and self-sufficiency programmes across the country.

According to the Department of Correctional Services, 12 prison bakeries are now operating nationally, helping government save more than R77 million on bread costs during the last financial year alone.

In addition, prison agricultural projects reportedly generated savings of over R125 million through internally produced vegetables, livestock, and other farming commodities used inside correctional facilities.

The Department has also expanded offender training programmes through workshops, farming projects, textile production, and skills development initiatives aimed at preparing inmates for life after prison while reducing dependence on external suppliers.

On security matters, Groenewald’s department intensified anti-contraband operations inside prisons, increasing raids dramatically and confiscating more than 37,000 illegal cellphones and prohibited items.

The Minister has also taken a strong stance against corruption and misconduct within correctional services, with thousands of disciplinary cases reportedly being processed against officials accused of wrongdoing.

Many South Africans online say Groenewald’s leadership style focuses on discipline, accountability, practical solutions, and reducing unnecessary government spending.

Supporters argue that while many government departments continue facing criticism over corruption and inefficiency, Correctional Services under Groenewald has shown visible efforts toward saving money, improving operations, and promoting self-sufficiency.

As praise for the Minister continues growing online, some social media users are now openly calling for Dr Pieter Groenewald to one day become President of South Africa.

Do you think Dr Pieter Groenewald has what it takes to lead the country in the future? 👀🇿🇦
