MDLULI’S ILL-HEALTH DELAYS PROCEEDINGS IN HIS CORRUPTION CASE
The corruption trial involving former Crime Intelligence Head Richard Mdluli and his co-accused was postponed to Monday, 16 November 2026 for further evidence in a trial-within-a-trial after a challenge to the validity of search warrants issued during the investigative stage of the matter. The postponement is owed to Mdluli’s ill-health.
The State has completed leading its evidence-in-chief through its first witness, a retired investigator from the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI) and the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC). The witness was being cross-examined by the defence before the trial within a trial proceedings commenced on Monday.
Mdluli, together with former South African Police Service (SAPS) Supply Chain Manager Heine Barnard and former Chief Financial Officer Solomon Lazarus, faces charges of corruption, fraud, and theft relating to the alleged misuse of the SAPS Crime Intelligence secret service account during the period 2008 to 2012.
The accused have pleaded not guilty to all charges against them.
