South Africa has announced the establishment of a committee to investigate allegations of infiltration of law enforcement agencies.

On the evening of July 13th local time, South African President Ramaphosa delivered a televised speech, announcing the establishment of an independent judicial inquiry commission to investigate the serious allegations of criminal groups infiltrating the law enforcement system. On July 6th, Lieutenant General Enlara Mkhwanazi, the police chief of KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa, made specific allegations, stating that a criminal group had infiltrated South Africa's law enforcement and intelligence agencies. He also accused the current Minister of Police, Bheki Cele, of interfering in police investigations. Ramaphosa announced on the 13th the establishment of a judicial inquiry commission to fully investigate the allegations. The commission will focus on examining the activities of criminal groups within law enforcement agencies, whether police investigations have been manipulated, and the specific responsibilities of the officials involved. At the same time, Ramaphosa announced that Minister Cele has been asked to take a temporary leave of absence and will be temporarily replaced by legal expert Feroz Cachalia. Ramaphosa emphasized that the investigation must be efficient and transparent, and the commission is expected to submit a report within a specified timeframe to address the public's deep concerns about national security and judicial fairness. He called on all citizens to support the investigation and defend the rule of law in South Africa. He stated that the South African government will not tolerate any actions that undermine the credibility of law enforcement agencies, and promised to take all necessary measures to restore public trust.
