Cedrick Nkabinde

Chief of Staff

Cedrick Nkabinde served as the Chief of Staff in the office of Minister Senzo Mchunu, a role in which he reportedly directed a letter to IDAC on the Minister’s letterhead. During commission hearings, Lieutenant General Mkhwanazi described contacting Nkabinde to verify the identity of Brown Mogotsi, and Nkabinde was said to have arranged meetings between Mogotsi, Mchunu, and community members. Nkabinde later testified in Parliament about his interactions with Mkhwanazi, which were linked to the Stilfontein matter. He was alleged to be among individuals who would be promoted within SAPS in exchange for cooperation, and also provided a sworn statement in a High Court case involving a former national police commissioner.
