Overview
- IDAC obtained warrants for Lieutenant‑General Dumisani Khumalo and Major‑General Nozipho Madondo and asked them to present at Brooklyn Police Station on June 18, but the arrests were not executed when IDAC postponed action.
- The NPA told reporters that IDAC delayed the operation after being informed the two officers were part of a JCPS team preparing for a national security operation scheduled for June 30.
- Khumalo and Madondo have filed formal complaints with the justice and police ministers and with NDPP Andy Mothibi alleging procedural flaws including that no warning statements were taken before warrants were issued.
- Their lawyers also argue the Mokwele appointment matter falls outside IDAC’s statutory mandate and was not properly referred to the directorate under Section 27 of the NPA Act.
- The episode exposes deep splits inside SAPS and adds pressure to the wider Madlanga Commission inquiries because prosecutors, police leaders, and national security planners now face legal and political fallout from the disputed enforcement move.
