The Petition
We, the undersigned citizens of the Republic of South Africa and concerned people of the world, hereby present this urgent petition to the Parliament of South Africa demanding immediate accountability, transparency, and justice in the murder investigation of Lieutenant General Sindile Christopher (SC) Mfazi.
Who Was Lieutenant General Mfazi?
Deputy National Police Commissioner of SAPS — one of the highest-ranking police officers in the Republic of South Africa
Commander of Mkhonto weSizwe (MK) — a decorated freedom fighter who bled for South Africa's liberation
Beloved husband to Malindi, and devoted father to Gugulethu and Lutho — a family man taken far too soon
A fearless investigator of unwavering integrity, actively exposing corruption at the highest levels of power
Born in Mdantsane, East London, General Mfazi rose from the streets of the Eastern Cape to the highest echelons of South African law enforcement. He dedicated his entire life to the service of this nation — first as a freedom fighter, then as a protector of its people. He was known as "Pitso" — a man of sharp intellect, unimpeachable integrity, and relentless commitment to truth. He was not just a policeman. He was a guardian of the republic.
What Happened to Him?
On 08 July 2021, Lieutenant General SC Mfazi was murdered. He did not die of natural causes. He was not in an accident. He was killed — and South Africa must demand to know by whom, and why.
As of today, no arrests have been made in connection with his murder. His family — his widow and his children — have been given no answers. Justice has not been served. The truth has not been told.
General Mfazi was murdered at a time when he was actively investigating some of the most serious crimes this country has ever seen. Crimes that threatened powerful people. Crimes that cost ordinary South Africans billions of rands. We believe he was killed because of what he knew.
What General Mfazi Was Investigating
At the time of his murder, General Mfazi was not a passive observer. He was an active, senior investigator with direct knowledge of and involvement in some of the most consequential corruption investigations in post-apartheid South Africa:
The Phala Phala Scandal
General Mfazi was investigating the Phala Phala matter — a scandal that reaches to the very top of the South African government and involves serious questions of concealment, obstruction, and abuse of state power.
The FDA Matter — R6.1 Billion
The FDA (Forensic Data Analyst) Matter is one of the most devastating corruption cases in SAPS history. It has cost South African taxpayers R6.1 billion rands — money stolen from a nation where millions go without water, electricity, and basic services.
R1.6 Billion PPE Corruption
During the COVID-19 pandemic, when South Africans were dying and the country was on its knees, R1.6 billion in PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) funds was looted. General Mfazi was part of efforts to hold those responsible to account.
Illegal Activities by SAPS Senior Officials & Government
General Mfazi had direct knowledge of unlawful conduct by senior officials within SAPS and government — activities that compromised national security, subverted law enforcement, and betrayed the people of South Africa.
These are not coincidences. A man who investigated these crimes is dead. The people he was investigating remain free. If South Africa allows this to stand, we are saying that those in power can murder those who seek to expose them — and face no consequences.
Why Parliament Must Act
The South African Constitution guarantees every citizen the right to life, the right to dignity, and the right to equal protection of the law. Those rights do not expire when a person dies. If anything, the state's obligation to seek justice becomes even more urgent when the victim was himself a servant of the state — murdered, we believe, for doing his duty.
Parliamentary oversight exists precisely for moments like this — when institutions abuse their authority to protect the guilty and silence the truth. We call on Parliament to exercise its full constitutional mandate and deliver what every South African deserves: justice.
Our Demands to Parliament
Justice for General Mfazi
We demand a full, independent, and transparent investigation into the murder of Lt General SC Mfazi. No stone must be left unturned. The killers must be found. Arrests must be made.
Parliamentary Oversight of the Investigation
Parliament must place the murder investigation under direct parliamentary oversight to ensure it is conducted without interference, obstruction, or manipulation by any party.
Full Account of What He Was Investigating
Parliament must demand a complete account of the crimes General Mfazi was investigating — including Phala Phala, the R6.1 billion FDA Matter, R1.6 billion PPE corruption, and illegal SAPS activities — and ensure those implicated are brought before the law.
Public Accountability
Those who may have been involved in, been aware of, or failed to prevent threats to General Mfazi's life — including any who may have ordered, facilitated, or covered up his murder — must face the full force of the law.
Justice and Dignity for His Family
Nomisumzi, Gugulethu and Lutho Mfazi must receive the truth, the justice, and the closure that is their constitutional right. This nation owes them nothing less.
A Clear Message: No One Is Above the Law
Parliament must send an unambiguous message to South Africa and the world — that in this republic, no matter how powerful, no matter how connected, no one can murder a defender of this nation and walk free.
We, the signatories of this petition, hold that a democracy which cannot protect its own defenders — and cannot deliver justice when they are murdered — has failed in its most fundamental duty.
Lt General SC Mfazi gave everything to this country. He bled for its freedom. He worked to keep its people safe. He was killed for daring to fight corruption and expose the truth. South Africa owes him, his family, and every person who ever believed in justice — the truth.
MAY-DAY. MAY-DAY. SOLDIER IS DOWN. PITSO IS DOWN.
We will not stop until justice is served. South Africa, add your voice.
