13 July 2025- The Republic of South Africa (RSA), President Cyril Ramaphosa will on Sunday, address the nation on developments arising from a public statement by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi that details allegations against senior political and South African Police Service leadership. Ramaphosa was attending a BRICS summit in Brazil on 6 July 2025, when Mkhwanazi outlined numerous allegations at a media briefing.
Ramaphosa spokesperson, Vincent Magwenya said he undertook to attend to this development on his return from Brazil, in view of the implications for national security. Magwenya said Ramaphosa has been seized with this matter in recent days and will, following various consultations, take the nation into his confidence at 7pm on 13 July 2025.
“The President’s message will be broadcast and streamed on various platforms,” he said.
Meanwhile, Ramaphosa is expected to establish a commission of inquiry led by a retired judge to investigate Mkhwanazi’s explosive allegations. During a media briefing last week, Mkhwanazi accused the Minister of Police, Senzo Mchunu, Deputy Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Shadrack Sibiya and some of members from National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) and Judiciary in cohorts with criminals.
