Former Crime Intelligence boss Mulangi Mphego has denied claims that he was involved in the disappearance of documents related to the Phala Phala investigation following the death of Lieutenant-General Sindile Mfazi in 2021.

Former head of Crime Intelligence Division and high-level political advisor Mulangi Mphego is demanding a comprehensive investigation surrounding the death of Lieutenant-General Sindile Mfazi, dismissing allegations that he raided Mfazi’s home and stole documents related to the Phala Phala investigation.

Mfazi, police deputy national commissioner, was the top police investigator probing the 2020 burglary and President Cyril Ramaphosa’s concealment of crime at Phala Phala farm before he died in 2021.

His death was attributed to Covid-19, but toxicology and exhumation reports later confirmed that he was poisoned.

Mphego was accused of entering Mfazi’s Pretoria home shortly after his death, removing files that were allegedly linked to the Phala Phala investigation to the misuse of SAPS Crime Intelligence funds.
