Nkabinde Inquiry EXPOSES Cato Manor Torture, Killings,Witness Intimidation While Justice Looked Away

The Nkabinde Inquiry has peeled back the layers of one of the most disturbing chapters in South Africa’s policing and prosecutorial history — the conduct of the Cato Manor unit under the leadership of Johan Booysen. In today’s proceedings, three deeply troubling issues stood out, all of which directly tested National Director of Public Prosecutions Shamila Batohi on the failures of the NPA to deliver justice. 🔹 1. Unlawful Killings & Wrongful Identification The inquiry heard harrowing details of people who were killed unjustifiably, including the fatal shooting of a 16-year-old child who was wrongly identified by the Cato Manor unit. Families cried out for justice — yet no successful prosecutions followed. Charges were withdrawn, cases collapsed, and accountability never came. 🔹 2. Witness Intimidation — Even Across Borders Witnesses who were prepared to testify against the unit and its leadership were threatened and intimidated, even after fleeing South Africa for safety. Evidence before the inquiry revealed WhatsApp messages sent as intimidation, directed at witnesses and their families. Despite these serious allegations being reported, the NPA failed to act, leaving victims and families exposed, fearful, and abandoned. 🔹 3. Torture Videos & Deaths in Custody Perhaps the most shocking revelation was the existence of videos showing suspects being tortured by members of the Cato Manor unit — including footage linked to a person who later died during the torture process. These were not rumours; they were visual records of abuse. Yet still, no justice was served. ⚖️ Political Protection or Institutional Failure? A disturbing contradiction emerges when considering the public stance of former Police Minister Bheki Cele, who previously claimed that the disbandment of the Cato Manor unit was a “gross miscarriage of justice.” Cele blamed the unit’s closure on former Minister Nathi Mthethwa and Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, insisting the unit was effective and wrongly shut down. But the evidence emerging at the Nkabinde Inquiry, led through the cross-examination of Advocate Tembeka Ngcukaitobi, paints a very different picture — one of systemic brutality, terrorizing communities, silencing witnesses, and evading justice. 🔄 The PKTT Irony In a stunning twist, Johan Booysen himself later supported the disbandment of the PKTT, arguing that it was merely a temporary structure and that any permanent crime-fighting unit should fall under the Hawks — the very institution under which the Cato Manor unit operated when these abuses occurred. This raises a critical question: How can institutions that failed communities so brutally be trusted again — while victims continue to live in fear and perpetrators enjoy their pensions in peace? ❓ What Kind of Society Is This? Today, many of those accused of torture, unlawful killings, and witness intimidation are free, living comfortably with their families, their charges withdrawn — while victims and families live with trauma, fear, and unanswered questions. This video asks the uncomfortable but necessary question: What does justice mean in South Africa — and who is it really for? #politics #business #gnu #madlangacommission #africannews #cabinetminister #cyrilramaphosa #finance #currentaffairs #southafrica #nkabindeinquiry #crime #police #corruptgovernment #law #politicalnews #bhekicele #adhoc #comment #podcast #justice #taskteam #news #juliusmalema #jacobzuma #court #jacobzuma timestamps 00:00 Introduction 01:48 Failure of the NPA to arrest the Cato Manor unit and General Booysen 02:44 Bheki Cele blames General Mkhwanazi and Nathi Mthethwa for the disbandment of the Cato Manor unit 05:21 What is the Cato Manor unit & why was it disbanded? 05:46 General Booysen comments on the Madlanga commission 07:12 General Booysen supports the disbandment of the PKTT so that it can be under the hawks 08:39 General Booysen defends himself at the state capture commission 10:48 The charges against Gen Booysen and Cato Manor unit were never suppose to be withdrawn 11:18 16 years old Boy unalived while watching football 12:30 Ballistics report of Colonel Mangena 14:45 NPA Botched the matter through their own experts who defamed the 16 years old boy is a threat 15:10 The KZN DPP Elaine Harrison failed to tell the truth about the Prosecutors who suppressed evidence 16:14 Batohi overlooked the evidence from Mangena that was suppressed 16:31 NPA wanted the matter to go through inquest 17:49 How Cato Manor Unit & M.G Booysen intimidated Witnesses and Batohi refuses that it was intimidation 19:18 Further Whatsapp messages sent to intimidate a witness 21:44 Clips of torture exposed at the Nkabinde Inquiry 24:07 The NPA was determined to ensure that Cato Manor unit & Gen Booysen are not charged 24:18 Why is Bheki Cele defending this unit? 24:37 The PKTT is challenging its disbandment, why the Cato Manor Unit didn't challenge their disbandment? 25:37 Concluding remarks
