South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is scheduled to address the nation on Sunday, July 13, 2025, at 7 p.m. regarding serious allegations made by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. These allegations, which surfaced a week prior to the address, involve claims of corruption, political interference, and collusion within senior ranks of the South African Police Service (SAPS) and implicate senior political figures, including Police Minister Senzo Mchunu. The public statement by Mkhwanazi has prompted criminal charges and parliamentary investigations. Ramaphosa's address is expected to focus on these developments amid concerns about divisions within the police force and the broader implications for national security.
