Ipid investigators confronted by crippling backlog
Cape Times
|February 13, 2026
SOME Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid) investigators were handling more than 700 cases each instead of the prescribed 290.
This was according to Ipid assistant director of investigations Thulani Magagula when testified before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry yesterday.
Magagula has been accused of trying to protect suspended Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department (EMPD) deputy chief Julius Mkhwanazi from possible prosecution and disciplinary process emanating from allegations related to the installation of blue lights on a civilian’s vehicles in 2013.
It was alleged that Mkhwanazi facilitated the donation of vehicles from alleged crime mastermind Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala’s VIP Security Services through an unauthorised memorandum of understanding he entered into with Matlala’s company without the city’s consent.
