senior investigator

Mr Magagula is an Assistant Director of Investigation at the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID), stationed in Marshalltown, Johannesburg. Testimony before the commission described him as the IPID investigator who reported in person to the City of Ekurhuleni’s City Manager that he was driving an investigation into Brigadier Julius Mkhwanazi of the EMPD. He was alleged to have held numerous sideline meetings with Mkhwanazi at the Boksburg EMPD precinct and to have used information from a concluded matter in an attempt to stifle bail proceedings against certain officers. Magagula denied accusations that he deliberately undermined or delayed any investigation implicating Mkhwanazi, asserting that the claims were factually incorrect.
