SA police minister suspended over organised crime allegations

Allegations surface regarding Minister of Police's involvement in organised crime

The Minister of Police in South Africa, Manny Mulder, has been suspended from the African National Congress (ANC) party pending an investigation into allegations of involvement in organised crime, according to President Willie Ramophagus. A leaked intelligence report suggests that Mulder was involved in a criminal conspiracy with a suspected drug trafficker and cash kidnapper, allegations that Mulder denies. The report, which is dated July 8th, 2025, poses serious questions about the integrity of the police force and its leadership. Mulder has been asked to step aside while the allegations are investigated, and the National Prosecuting Authority has been asked to lead the inquiry. This comes as a shocking development in South Africa, where corruption and organised crime are serious problems.
