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 Analysts) Matter is one of the most devastating cases in SAPS history. Over two decades, a closed network of private vendors and former SAPS insiders systematically privatised the police service's core forensic technology. South African taxpayers have been billed at least R6.1 billion in verified payments alone, with total losses estimated as high as R10 to R50 billion when monopoly pricing and indirect costs are included. Worse, this is not merely a financial scandal. The privatisation of these critical systems means that private companies now hold the power to cripple the entire criminal justice system at will.
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.
Demand Seven — A Nation's Honour
A Posthumous National Award for Bravery
In Honour of Lieutenant General Sindile Christopher (SC) Mfazi
We call on Parliament and the Presidency of the Republic of South Africa to formally recognise Lieutenant General Sindile Christopher Mfazi with a posthumous national award for bravery and distinguished service to the Republic.
General Mfazi did not die in retirement. He did not die in comfort or in peace. He died in the line of duty — actively serving this nation, actively fighting corruption, and actively protecting the people of South Africa at the cost of his own life. He was a freedom fighter who took up arms so that this country could be free. He was a police general who took on the most dangerous criminals in the land — not on the streets, but in the corridors of power. He was killed because he refused to look away.
“That is not merely service. That is sacrifice of the highest order.”
South Africa honours its soldiers who fall in battle. General Mfazi fell in a different kind of battle — one fought with evidence, with integrity, and with an unshakeable belief that the truth must prevail. He deserves to be recognised by this nation with the same solemnity, the same reverence, and the same gratitude we extend to any hero who gave their life in service of the Republic.
We therefore demand that the state formally confer upon him a posthumous national award for bravery — so that his name is enshrined not only in the memory of those who loved him, but in the official record of this nation's history. So that his children, Gugulethu and Lutho Mfazi, may one day hold that medal and know without doubt: their father was a hero. South Africa knew it. And South Africa said so — in writing, in ceremony, and in perpetuity.
Freedom Fighter
Took up arms for liberation
Servant of the State
Died protecting the Republic
Legacy of Courage
Refused to look away from truth
This demand is made in the spirit of Section 9 of the Constitution — equal dignity for all — and in recognition that those who die serving this Republic must never be forgotten by it.
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.
