Johannes Mokgatle, a JMPD K9 Unit supervisor, has been under heavy public and legal heat after being accused of trying to get in the way of a major Gauteng counter intelligence raid and arrest. The target was businessman Katiso “KT” Molefe, linked to the so-called “Big 5” and facing multiple murder related charges.

On the day of the operation, Mokgatle officially booked off sick. Instead of staying home, he allegedly took an official JMPD vehicle without permission and drove to Molefe’s Sandhurst house, where he confronted the officers carrying out the arrest.

Senior officers, including KZN Police Commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, told the Madlanga Commission that Mokgatle had improper links to Molefe. That included claims he ran unauthorised plate checks to see whether police were watching Molefe’s home.

After the City of Johannesburg finished its internal investigation, Mokgatle was suspended. JMPD has started formal departmental charges against him for policy breaches and misuse of council property. The department’s own probe confirmed the unauthorised vehicle use while he was off duty, but said it did not find evidence that he used official systems to help Molefe on the day of the arrest.
