National Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola told the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry that 121 case files involving political killings in KwaZulu-Natal were sent to Pretoria and remained dormant without any investigative progress. The files include 107 murders, four attempted murders, two conspiracy charges, and two firearm offenses originally managed by the provincial Political Killings Task Team before their transfer to the capital. Masemola has since directed their return to KwaZulu-Natal for renewed investigation.

The commission, chaired by Supreme Court of Appeal Judge Mbuyiseli Madlanga under presidential appointment, examines alleged criminal infiltration and administrative failures within the South African Police Service. Witness testimony revealed systemic breakdowns in handling these sensitive cases, which involve politicians, councillors, and taxi industry violence. The province has experienced hundreds of such deaths since 2011, and the prolonged inaction has raised concerns about justice delays and potential accountability evasion by perpetrators.
