JMPD Corruption Exposed at Madlanga Commission | Johannesburg News

Shocking corruption allegations are rocking the Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department, with top officials admitting officers allegedly colluded with criminal syndicates—tipping them off on investigations and protecting high-value targets like hardware stores, Chinese suppliers, copper, and gems. Testimony from Internal Affairs chief Superintendent Elmarie de Beer revealed deep-seated betrayal across units including Tactical Response and K9, with some officers even working as civilian informants for cash. The scandal extends beyond JMPD, implicating SAPS and Hawks agents too. Retired officer Phineas Manyama is accused of shielding syndicates by diverting police from crime scenes just before his retirement. Other damning claims include botched drug raids, stolen cocaine worth millions, a failed arrest attempt involving a sick K9 supervisor using an official vehicle, and a multi-million rand gem heist—all under investigation as the Madlanga Commission pushes for accountability and public trust.
