ANC to take action against leaders implicated in Madlanga Inquiry

ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula interviewed on SABC News’ Full View programme on October 2, 2025.

African National Congress (ANC) Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula says implicated party leaders will face the party’s Integrity Commission after the Madlanga Inquiry concludes its investigations and gives its recommendations.

The inquiry was established by President Cyril Ramaphosa to probe criminality, political interference, and corruption in the criminal justice system.

In the last two weeks, it has heard explosive evidence from various witnesses who have implicated ANC NEC member and Police Minister Senzo Mchunu of allegedly having links with the criminal underworld.

Mchunu has since been placed on a leave of absence.

Mbalula says they will allow legal processes to unfold and reach their conclusion, without interference.

He says, “We have decided not to run commentary on the Madlanga Commission …So if things are said about individuals who were ministers in that portfolio, if we comment, it will be like putting the cart before the horse. Allow this process to conclude, even those who are implicated to come to state their case, at the end, the judge will make up their minds.”
