Division Crime Intelligence

Division Commissioner Lieutenant General Khumalo failed to take action since February 2024 regarding General Madondo's presence in Crime Intelligence, which poses a security risk.

“The fact that no action was taken by Division Commissioner Lieutenant General Khumalo since 2024 February, raises serious concern as Madondo's mere presence in the Division Crime Intelligence poses a serious security risk to Crime Intelligence and the SAPS.”

Granting General Madondo access to Crime Intelligence increases the likelihood that State witnesses from that environment will be influenced or intimidated.

“most of the State witnesses would be from Crime Intelligence environment. Her access being granted to the same environment increases the likelihood of witnesses being influenced or intimidated.”

Advocate Johnson signed and sent a letter dated 30 June 2025 to the National Commissioner stating that Generals Lushaba, Khumalo, Madondo, Lekalakala, Gabela, Ncube, and Brigadier Mokwele were prohibited by court order from entering any Crime Intelligence premises or contacting its personnel.

“On the 30th of June 2025, you penned, signed, and addressed a letter to the National Commissioner informing him that General Lushaba, General Khumalo, General Madondo, it is going to be projected here, General Lekalakala, and General Gabela, as well as Ncube, I apologise, I do not remember her rank, and Brigadier Mokwele. You state in this document... “Kindly note that none of the above named officers are allowed to enter any premises or office which forms part of the Division Crime Intelligence, or have any contact with its personnel as ordered by the Court.””
