SA Explained | Madlanga, Mogotsi and the rot still coming | 22 May 2026

The Madlanga Commission fallout is moving from testimony into arrests, warrants and deeper questions about the criminal justice system. Pule Letshwiti-Jones is joined by Yusuf Abramjee to examine the latest developments around Brown Mogotsi, including his arrest and allegations that his reported assassination attempt may have been staged. Yusuf also raises questions about a firearm still being sought by police, which he says is linked to multiple murders, and warns that more arrests may still follow. The discussion widens beyond one figure. Yusuf points to at least 25 or 26 senior police officials in the dock over recent months, turning the conversation into a bigger warning about the state of policing, crime intelligence and organised crime investigations. Pule and Yusuf also look at possible friction between law enforcement bodies, including IPID, police units and NPA-linked structures. The concern is simple but serious: if agencies are competing instead of cooperating, criminals benefit. From Brown Mogotsi to senior police arrests and the next phase of the Madlanga Commission, this is a sharp look at a justice system under pressure.
