Exactly one year ago, KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi dropped a bombshell media briefing in full combat camo, alleging huge political interference and criminal syndicates in the justice system.

That explosive moment gave birth to the Madlanga commission of inquiry and a parliamentary ad-hoc committee.

With final reports and recommendations looming this winter, we want to know where you stand.
