Anchor Point | Madlanga Commission fall-out – Police in the dock | 22 April 2026

Naledi Moleo is not just reacting to a court appearance in this episode of Anchor Point. She is tracing a deeper crisis inside South Africa’s policing system.

Using the fallout from the Madlanga Commission, Naledi connects a string of accountability moments that are hard to ignore. A senior police official’s testimony raises uncomfortable questions about family ties to a murder accused. A suspended deputy chief is transported to court in the back of a police van. An organised crime officer is denied bail after police allegedly find ammunition, long-held dockets, and a grenade at his home. And at the highest level, the national police commissioner appears in court in connection with the R360 million tender matter, with the state wanting him back alongside multiple co-accused, including other police officers.

But the episode does not stop at the headlines. Naledi pushes toward the larger issue underneath them: what do these court appearances say about power, policing, and the institutional rot that may be sitting between metro police structures and SAPS itself?

If you care about the Madlanga Commission, police corruption, SAPS accountability, organised crime links, the R360 million tender case, or the future of law enforcement credibility in South Africa, this episode is for you.
