He said intervention by NICOC has helped restore coordination and strengthen the State’s response to organised crime.
The Madlanga Commission has heard that Crime Intelligence head Dumisani Khumalo had effectively given up in the face of the growing infiltration of criminal syndicates.
Dr Ntandazo Sifolo said NICOC’s intervention in February 2025 allowed law enforcement to regain control.
“A term, the infiltration of the criminal justice system, was coined at NICOC. It is out of that, being alive to the realities, that makes us to even have projects of this nature that will be sought so much because people don’t want us to do what we wanted to do to clean. And we were given the assurance by the executive, in terms of the National Security Council, that you have done that is the problem. Now go back and solve it. And we did solve it.”
On Friday, the commission turns to a new witness, as it’s expected to shift its focus to the Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD).
