Political killings dockets back with KZN task team
September 04, 2025
|The Star
SAPS says copies have been made of the 121 dockets linked to political killings in KwaZulu-Natal to ensure the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry can access them, while the originals are back with the disbanded political killings task team to continue investigations.
In an interview on 702, Police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe said that the national commissioner decided to return the files to KZN “to ensure that we do not delay justice for the families that are waiting for answers and for the victims that have died.”
In July, SAPS KZN Provincial Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi accused the now-suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu of interfering in police operations, including ordering the disbandment of the high-profile Political Killings Task Team and the removal of the dockets.
He also alleged that Mchunu protected individuals implicated in politically motivated crimes - claims Mchunu has denied as “baseless.”
