IDAC Director Andrea Johnson under NPA investigation for alleged information leaks

Andrea Johnson, head of South Africa's Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC), is under NPA investigation for alleged information leaks to a Crime Intelligence officer, creating leadership uncertainty within the primary anti-corruption body. Concurrently, Johnson testified before the Madlanga Commission regarding systemic state capture within Crime Intelligence, asserting the legitimacy of IDAC's investigations into internal complaints. Her testimony also clarified the grounds for a 2025 arrest of a Crime Intelligence official, decoupling it from the controversial disbandment of the Political Killings Task Team.
