Serious allegations have surfaced against senior police officials in KwaZulu-Natal, including Provincial Commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, in connection with a high-profile kidnapping and robbery case.

The accusations stem from the legal defense of three men—Esmael Maulide Ramos Nangy, Setefane Pereira da Costa Brites, and Samkeliso Mlotshwa—who were charged with abducting businessman Zak Desai and demanding a R35-million ransom in September 2024. Their lawyer, Advocate Ricardo Arcangeli, claims there were serious procedural violations and misconduct by police during the arrests and detention of his clients.

All charges against the three men were unexpectedly dropped on January 22, 2025, raising concerns about the police’s handling of the case. Arcangeli alleges that officers unlawfully seized valuable items from his clients, including Rolex watches, a Versace bracelet, a Mercedes-Benz, and R53,000 in cash. He says authorities have failed to provide proper documentation for the return of these items, leaving their whereabouts unclear.

In a letter to Captain Azile Enoch of the Directorate of Priority Crimes, Arcangeli expressed frustration over the lack of transparency, particularly regarding the missing Mercedes-Benz. The absence of required police slips—necessary for reclaiming seized property—has further raised suspicions of misconduct.

A confidential police report and an affidavit from Nangy reportedly support these allegations, casting doubt on the conduct of KwaZulu-Natal’s law enforcement. The Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) has launched an investigation into claims of abduction, torture, arson, perjury, and illegal extradition linked to the case.

While the dropped charges provide legal relief for Nangy, Brites, and Mlotshwa, public scrutiny has shifted to the police’s actions. The case highlights concerns about accountability and transparency within the South African Police Service (SAPS). If proven, the allegations could damage public trust in law enforcement.

The lack of proper documentation for seized property and claims of procedural failures suggest a need for stronger oversight. As investigations continue, the public awaits answers on whether these were isolated mistakes or signs of deeper systemic issues within the police force.
