This comes after President Cyril Ramaphosa instituted a Judicial Commission of Inquiry to investigate allegations relating to the infiltration of law enforcement, intelligence and associated institutions within the criminal justice system by criminal syndicates.

Earlier this month, KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi publicly stated that there criminal syndicates infiltrating police. Police Minister, Senzo Mchunu has since been placed on a leave of absence. The Commission’s Dr Benjamin Roberts says much of the public expectations were shaped by earlier commissions.

“ We have done in depth research on attitudes towards the Zondo Commission into State Capture. We have done 3 or 4 years of assessment of public views towards that particular commission of inquiry and it is along the lines of what you thought. The public is generally sub favourable towards the way the commission handled itself procedurally. They are favourable in terms of some of the recommendations, they concerned about implementations in terms of those recommendations in terms of these commissions being value for money,” Roberts said.
