Police’s political interference probe to cost R147.9m, says Justice Department
July 30, 2025
|The Star
THE Department of Justice and Constitutional Development has confirmed that the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into allegations of political interference and shielding of criminals within the South African Police Service (SAPS) is estimated to cost R147.9 million over six months.
“We can confirm that the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development is responsible for the procurement process for services for the commission, in consultation with the commission chairperson and secretary,’ said departmental spokesperson Terence Manase.
The commission, chaired by Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga, was established by President Cyril Ramaphosa following explosive allegations made by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.
The claims included interference by senior police officials, including Police Minister Senzo Mchunu, in politically sensitive investigations and the disbanding of elite anti-corruption units.
Manase confirmed that due to time constraints, the department has applied to the National Treasury for a deviation from standard procurement procedures and is awaiting feedback.
“We have since applied for deviations from the National Treasury, but the amount that we have put on the table is what we estimate”
