'Ipid investigated all cases and there was clear evidence of a corrupt relationship between Phahlane and service providers to the SAPS,' he said.

Corruption, patronage, abuse of powers and state resources are among several glaring weaknesses pointing to the dysfunctionality of the South African criminal justice system, according to former Independent Police Investigative Directorate executive director Robert McBride. Mabula Team’s disregard for interdicts and court rulings unleashed a reign of terror on suspects, Ipid staff or anyone who dared spill the beans on Phahlane’s illegal dealings;
The case related to the construction of Phahlane’s house at Sable Hills Estate in Midrand, allegedly with funds provided by a service provider to the SA Police Service , as well as a music system worth R80,000 that was alleged to have been paid for by the same service provider, and several vehicles bought for Phahlane.
