- Mbalula faces a crimen injuria charge over alleged remarks about former Bergview College principal Jaco Pieterse.
- The NPA declined to prosecute anyone in May 2025, saying examinations found no evidence of rape or sexual assault.
- AfriForum’s private prosecution unit announced the decision to prosecute Monday; NPA spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago confirmed it last week.
- The ANC called AfriForum racist and questioned whether its announcement, rather than the NPA’s, was potentially corrupt.
AfriForum longs for a country where black people are expected to bow their heads and answer 'ja baas'.— Mahlengi Bhengu, ANC national spokesperson, in an ANC statement criticizing AfriForum amid the Mbalula prosecution row

- Lekgetho had served as acting head since February and has worked at the SIU since 2007, for more than 19 years.
- Investigators should examine processes rather than individuals; decisions must rely on evidence and withstand public scrutiny.
- The SIU needs a presidential proclamation to investigate, while Lekgetho remains open to legal reforms granting greater autonomy.
- When criminality is identified, AFU and NPA should join early; the NPA is asked to report within 90 days of a referral.
First we are requesting, now we are compelling you. Still you refuse. Now we subpoena you to come and appear before us so you can tell us why you are not giving us documents.— Leonard Lekgetho, SIU head, in an exclusive interview with IOL

- AfriForum says Mbalula will join Julius Malema in prosecution for allegedly false rape accusations against Jaco Pieterse.
- The case concerns a rape alleged by the child’s mother at Bergview College in Matatiele, Eastern Cape, in October 2024.
- In May 2025, the NPA said examinations found no evidence of rape or sexual assault.
- After the NPA declined prosecution in 2023, Mothibi instructed the Hawks to quickly finalise outstanding aspects of the family holiday inquiry.

- Groups like OUTA stress the necessity of allowing constitutional procedures to proceed and managing outcomes lawfully.
Constitutional accountability cannot ever be destabilising; political accountability must always trump the shielding of political elites.— Professor Kim Heller said this, commenting on constitutional accountability in the Ramaphosa impeachment context.
