The problem of feeding off corruption rather than fighting crime is not just at the top, but also in the middle and lower management structures.
Picture the scene: Independent Police Investigative Directorate low-ranking officer Mandla Mahlangu is being offered the post of brigadier or colonel – regardless of qualifications, expertise or experience – only if he assists in bringing down his boss, Robert McBride.
Upon realising that his back is against the wall, Phahlane immediately swings into action and enlists the services of the notorious Mabula Team in North West – led by Major-General Jan Mabula. Although this may have taken place in South Africa some years ago, during the Jacob Zuma presidency, the country’s criminal justice system, which includes the National Prosecuting Authority and the intelligence community, is still besieged by rogue elements who are a law unto themselves, according to McBride’s chilling testimony before the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture.
