The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has confirmed that the execution of arrest warrants against General Dumisani Khumalo and Major General Nosipho Madondo has been temporarily suspended due to their involvement in critical national security preparations ahead of the planned June 30 march linked to immigration-related issues.
In a statement issued by the NPA’s Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC), the authority sought to clarify reports circulating in both mainstream and social media following an earlier media statement released on 18 June 2026.
According to NPA National Spokesperson Kaizer Kanyago, several reports published after the initial statement were inaccurate and based on speculation.
“The further reports are both untrue and speculative,” Kanyago said.
He emphasized that warrants of arrest had been issued only for General Dumisani Khumalo and Major General Nosipho Madondo, dismissing claims that additional South African Police Service (SAPS) officials were facing arrest.
“The two individuals were contacted by IDAC investigators to present themselves at the Brooklyn Police Station on 18 June 2026. Subsequent to the communication with the two officers, the IDAC received information that the affected officers were part of the Justice, Crime Prevention and Security (JCPS) Cluster team assigned to prepare for national security measures before and on 30 June 2026 in relation to immigration issues,” Kanyago explained.
The June 30 march is expected to draw significant public attention, with authorities anticipating large-scale demonstrations linked to concerns around immigration. As a result, security agencies have been intensifying operational planning to ensure public safety and maintain order during the event.
In light of the officers’ roles within the security cluster, IDAC decided to postpone the arrests to avoid disrupting preparations for the national security operation.
The NPA stressed that the decision should not be interpreted as the withdrawal of charges or an indication that the matter has been abandoned. Instead, it is a procedural measure aimed at balancing law enforcement processes with immediate national security priorities.
Kanyago reiterated the NPA’s commitment to pursuing corruption-related cases without fear or favour while ensuring that critical state functions are not compromised.
The authority has urged the public and media outlets to rely on verified information and avoid spreading speculation regarding the ongoing investigation.
Further details on the case and any future legal proceedings involving the two senior police officers are expected to be communicated in due course.
