KwaZulu-Natal Police Reveals that More Than 90 Armed Suspects Have Been Shot and Killed in 33 Shootouts with KZN Police Since April 2026
KwaZulu-Natal police have confirmed that 91 suspects were fatally wounded in 33 separate shootout incidents with police officers across the province from April 2026 to date. The incidents occurred during operations where officers came under fire from armed suspects resisting arrest and engaging in violent confrontations with law enforcement.
The police statement comes amid ongoing criticism from some quarters alleging that officers are heavy-handed in their response to armed crime. Authorities maintain that in many cases, at least five police officers are involved in a single shootout, as they respond to suspects who open fire and pose a direct threat to police operations and public safety.
A police representative said: "From April 2026 to date, police in KwaZulu-Natal have to face criminals that shot at the police. And during this period, unfortunately, 91 of those suspects met a war by the police and were fatally wounded. And the total of the shootouts were 33... Police will continue to stamp the authority of the state." The statement also urged suspects to surrender when ordered.
Police in KwaZulu-Natal reiterated that any attack on officers is an attack on the authority of the state, adding that operations will continue to protect law-abiding residents. Authorities appealed to armed suspects to obey police instructions and surrender, while committing to maintain enforcement actions against violent crime across the province.

Niger has formally started the process of withdrawing from the International Criminal Court (ICC), accusing the Hague-based court of “selective justice.” The country submitted a letter to the United Nations on Monday to leave the Rome Statute, the ICC’s founding treaty. The withdrawal will take effect after 12 months. Niger said the court had raised hopes for peace and justice but had been “misused and exploited.” The ICC said it regretted the decision and called on countries to work together to end impunity for serious international crimes. Niger is set to become the third country to withdraw from the ICC, after Burundi and the Philippines. The move follows a 2023 coup in Niger. Mali and Burkina Faso, two other junta-led Sahel countries, have also announced plans to leave the court.
#sapsKZN [KZN SAPS ACCOUNTABILITY SESSION] Maj Gen Makoba reminded commanders that they are entrusted with the safety and security of the residents of KwaZulu-Natal and that they must take charge of their policing areas.
"When you become an officer in the South African Police Service, your appointment is ratified by the President of the Republic. Such is the authority that you have in commanding the troops on the ground.
When there is poor management, the blame is correctly put on the head and shoulders of the commander. When community members are angry because of lack of services from the police, the first person they blame is the Station Commander. They know that you are in charge of that station, and they expect you to be truly in charge", said Acting Provincial Commissioner of KwaZulu-Natal Major General Makoba.
Commanders are accounting on their performances and present strategies to improve on shortfalls. ME

Suspended KwaZulu-Natal Correctional Services Commissioner Mnikelwa Nxele has been arrested on charges of fraud and money laundering.
Nxele, placed on precautionary suspension in May 2025 over corruption allegations, has claimed he was targeted after blowing the whistle on inflated prison food supply contracts involving National Commissioner Makgothi Thobakgale.
The arrest comes amid years of SIU probes into procurement irregularities at the Department of Correctional Services.
🚨José Mourinho on Messi and Argentina: “It’s easy to win back-to-back World Cups when 90% of the refereeing decisions go in your favor. It happened in 2022, and it’s happening again. When you are the only country getting favorable penalty decisions in almost every match, the trophy is practically handed to you.
But it doesn’t just start in the knockout rounds; it starts on day one. FIFA always ensures Messi is protected with the easiest possible group stages. While European giants are tearing each other apart in the groups of death, Argentina is given a VIP pass against teams that look like they belong in a pre-season friendly. This isn’t football merit; it’s a perfectly rehearsed marketing campaign where the script is written before the tournament even begins.”
