A South African forensic technology company, Forensic Data Analysts (FDA), has denied allegations on social media accusing it of involvement in the deaths of three high-profile individuals, including former police deputy national commissioner Lt-Gen Sindile 'Pitso' Mfazi.

Mfazi's death in 2021 was initially attributed to Covid-19 but was later reclassified as murder after his wife exhumed his body and toxicology tests revealed poison.Mfazi's diary and legal battles claimed FDA's software, built using police operational knowledge and public funds, belonged to the state.

FDA's director, Vhonani Mufamadi, refuted claims that the company killed Mfazi, anti-gang commander Charl Kinnear, and former ANC minister Tina Joemat-Pettersson, stating these allegations are part of a deliberate discrediting campaign.

The police owe FDA over R1bn in unpaid fees, and legal disputes over intellectual property rights and software access have persisted for nearly a decade.The company's systems were critical for police operations, including forensic evidence tracking and biometric platforms.Mufamadi emphasized that the Facebook account making these claims has no factual basis and that the allegations are unfounded.
