Hawks head Major General Lesetja Senona has come under intense scrutiny following damning recommendations by the Madlanga Commission.Senona, who appeared before the commission this week, is among several senior police officials implicated in serious wrongdoing, according to the commission’s interim report submitted to President Cyril Ramaphosa.

The report recommends that Senona be investigated and prosecuted, alongside Major General Richard Shibiri, Brigadier Mbangwa Nkhwashu, Brigadier Rachel Matjeng and Sergeant Fannie Nkosi.

The Presidency said Ramaphosa welcomed the findings, describing them as a critical step in restoring accountability within law enforcement.
