Описание: KZN Hawks Head's Explosive Testimony at Madlanga Commission | Senona vs Mkhwanazi
KwaZulu-Natal Hawks boss Maj-Gen Lesetja Senona took the stand at the Madlanga Commission on January 27, 2026, facing serious allegations of corruption and links to alleged crime kingpin Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala. What unfolded was a day of denials, shocking admissions, and a bombshell counter-allegation against Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.
KEY MOMENTS FROM TESTIMONY:
🔴 Senona admits sending the PKTT disbandment letter to Matlala - the very person being investigated by that task team - claiming he sent it "randomly" to share "current affairs"
🔴 Explosive allegation: Senona claims Mkhwanazi offered to halt investigations into Matlala in exchange for information about Lt-Gen Shadrack Sibiya during an April 2025 meeting
🔴 Describes his relationship with alleged crime boss Matlala as "brotherly" and purely social, despite accompanying him to meetings with the police commissioner
🔴 Denies all corruption allegations including helping Matlala secure a R360 million SAPS tender and leaking sensitive police information
🔴 Struggles to explain what was "threatening" about WhatsApp messages from Mkhwanazi
🔴 Claims he only knows about "one big five cartel, which is the elephant, lion, leopard, rhino and buffalo" when asked about organized crime syndicates
BACKGROUND:
The Madlanga Commission is investigating allegations of organized crime infiltration into South Africa's criminal justice system. It was established after Mkhwanazi himself made serious allegations about senior officials protecting drug cartels.
