Criminals themselves will be funding the national organised crime task team led by Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.
The money will come from the Criminal Assets Recovery Account, where the proceeds of crime are channelled after arrests and prosecution.
It means the team Mkhwanazi forms will be able to rely on roughly a billion rand to eliminate criminal networks.
He will get to form his own team, with members vetted and selected from across the country.
The task team will follow a model similar to the PKTT, meaning it will collaborate closely with the NPA to ensure prosecution-driven investigations.
Mkhwanazi is targeting, among other things, tender corruption and drug syndicates.
The team will be looking internally, too, to identify and deal with anyone who has infiltrated the SAPS itself.
Special focus will also be paid to politicians and any irregular influence on policing or the awarding of tenders.
He's given an assurance that KwaZulu-Natal will not be neglected in this process, as he takes on additional responsibilities.
His deployment is initially set down for a year - until the end of March 2027.

In response to the pain & struggles of millions of South Africans, we have submitted a resolution for an ad hoc committee to investigate the #RandManipulation that has stolen opportunities from the people.
Your voices have been heard, and on 28 November this matter will be debated.
The @Our_DA Kohler-Barnard is very fond of Google searches, she even googled Paul O last night in the @adhoc committee #justsaying @ParliamentofRSA @MkhontoweSizwex @Action4SA @MYANC @OnsBaizaNie @EFFSouthAfrica

Has the DA said anything on Sibiya bringing a criminal to parliament. They had a lot to say in his favour there by the ad-hoc committee. O’Sullivan must be releasing rocks

The ANC-laden Limpopo Provincial Legislature booked and cancelled 3 sets of non-refundable Qatar Airways flights (& accommodation) costing R1.8 million in total, for the Commonwealth Parliament Association summit in Gambia.
Reason for the serial cancellations: Secretary to the Limpopo legislature, one Comrade Timothy Maake, insisted his PhD title appear on tickets, despite not being an original delegation member. Bro holds a PhD in Public Administration from the University of Limpopo. The bamboozled Qatar Airways explained that academic titles are not allowed on tickets, to avoid confusion with medical doctors—& bro threw tantrums each time, leading to the non-refundable cancellations.
Legislature spokesperson, one Comrade Andries Lekalakala says addressing Cde Maake as Mr instead of Dr is not only unlawful, invalid & vexatious, it is also a gross violation of his rights, hence the wasted R1.8 million is justifiable.
It’s not immediately clear if the Limpopo legislature intends to haul Qatar Airways before the UN Human Rights Commission, or the International Court of Justice.
This is a developing story.
🚨 Academic's ego trip cost taxpayers R1.8 million! 💸

Adv Terry Motau requests step down from Madlanga commission
Chief Evidence Leader Advocate Terry Motau has formally requested to step down from the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, which is investigating allegations of criminality, political interference, and corruption within South Africa's criminal justice system, report News24.
Motau's decision has prompted urgent discussions among commission officials to address the situation.
The Madlanga Commission, led by Acting Deputy Chief Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga, commenced its work earlier this month. Motau, a senior counsel known for his role in the VBS Mutual Bank investigation, has been instrumental in outlining the commission's approach and timeline. His leadership has been central to the inquiry's operations.
The commission's mandate includes probing serious allegations, including claims by KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi about the infiltration of criminal elements into the police service.
As of now, the reasons behind Motau's request to step down remain unclear. The commission has not issued an official statement regarding the matter. Further developments are expected as consultations continue.
This unexpected development raises questions about the continuity and effectiveness of the commission's work, with stakeholders and the public awaiting clarity on how it plans to proceed.

43 deputy ministers = R287m in salaries.
Add VIP perks + staff + cars and it equals to bleeding our taxes!
OUTA backs a bill to cut Cabinet waste + hold ministers accountable. Leaner govt, stronger SA.

Today, we start wasting your money, right infront of your eyes, and there is nothing you can do about it.

It seems like Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi has changed his tune on many of the things he claimed to stand for, while he was at the EFF.
His defence of Cyril Ramaphosa, idolizing Thabo Mbeki & singing Given Mkhari's praises... seem to lean to his wanting to rejoin the ANC.
Floyd Shivambu would also flip-flop on his views on Jacob Zuma & Julius Malema, after leaving the EFF & joining the MKP.
These are reminders that politicians serve money, & not principles. Please do not ever trust a politician beyond their funders' visions.
That's just the nature of the beast, and the nature of the game. South Africa belongs to the wealthy... politicians pander to who will pay them the most. That's the beginning and the end of the story.
Teach your loved ones about the game, so they don't get taken for a poes like we've been for decades.
End.
Any sane South African must agree with Dr John Hlope in parliament today. @MkhontoweSizwex @MYANC

Police Minister Senzo Mchunu has now confirmed he does know Brown Mokgotsi whom he denied knowing to Parliament.
Statement from the Police Minister’s office:

It all looks to me like the dangerous times have arrived! The long planned clandestine “plot” to collapse the democratic project has now taken public form.
Mkhwanazi’s actions have called agents of this plot out into the public, exposing the contours of the plot.
Look beyond the details. The Devil is not in the detail. Because the Devil is no longer hiding. He is out in the open.
The Political Killings Unit tempered with agents of the old order and their project to collapse the democratic project. They are angry, and they plan to retaliate. They will strike and see to it that their plan is fulfilled!
