SA opposition party to lead protest against crisis in criminal justice

Date: Jul 10, 2025

The South African (SA) opposition party, ActionSA is expected to lead a protest outside the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Headquarters of the SA Police Service (SAPS).

The party is demanding urgent action to what it calls a deepening crisis within SAPS and the broader criminal justice system. 

The protest follows explosive allegations made by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner, Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi during a media brief last Sunday. 

Mkhwanazi has accused Senior Police Officials, including Police Minister Senzo Mchunu, of meddling in police operations and having links to criminal syndicates. 

In a statement ActionSA says it will continue to support all legitimate and lawful efforts to root out corruption and tackle SA's rampant crime rate.
