Lt-Gen Richard Mdluli
former Head of Crime Intelligence
Lieutenant-General Richard Mdluli is a former Divisional Commissioner of the South African Police Service whose tenure became the subject of scrutiny during the Madlanga Commission. Testimony before the commission indicated that investigations were launched against him during his time in that role, though the nature and outcome of those inquiries were not detailed in the record. His name arises in the context of internal police accountability, with the commission hearing that these probes were initiated against him as a senior figure. Beyond this, the record provides no further biographical detail, leaving his broader career and the resolution of those investigations unaddressed in the testimony presented.
