Major General Mulaudzi (Head, SAPS Forensic Science Laboratory)

Major General Mulaudzi heads the South African Police Service’s Forensic Science Laboratory, a position that placed him at the centre of the commission’s scrutiny into the facility’s operations. His conduct during the inquiry itself drew criticism, with counsel describing him as uncooperative in providing an interview and statement about events at the laboratory. Beyond that, the record focuses on his role as the senior official accountable for the laboratory during a period of significant dysfunction, though the specifics of his involvement in the alleged failures remain a matter of testimony rather than settled fact.
