President Cyril Ramaphosa is currently studying the second interim report of the Madlanga Commission, describing the process as crucial in tackling alleged misconduct within South Africa’s criminal justice system.The president received the report on Friday and discussed it during a door-to-door campaign in Diepsloot on Saturday.

Ramaphosa emphasised that the commission forms part of broader efforts to address systemic 'rot' and the lingering challenges left after the state capture era.

The report highlights significant issues within law enforcement institutions, and the commission is identifying individuals involved in wrongdoing, resulting in suspensions and arrests.According to Ramaphosa, the process is not politically motivated but aims to uncover and correct the failings within the criminal justice system.

He believes that once the commission's work is complete, it will strengthen and cleanse the police service, contributing to a more accountable and efficient system.

The Madlanga Commission is set to resume public hearings on 1 June 2026, continuing its investigations into alleged corruption and systemic failures within law enforcement agencies.
