Former Minister for Lands and Water Affairs Dr Kefentse Mzwinila who is now resident in Johannesburg, South Africa has broken his silence on raids, detention and what he calls a campaign of harassment by the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC) through the Directorate of Public Prosecurions (DPP).

Mzwinila states under oath that his ordeal began stealtkily without a charge sheet, without a warrant, and without explanation before escalating into what he describes as an all-out campaign of intimidation by investigators.

In a detailed answering affidavit now before the court, Mzwinila paints a picture of a man hounded by law-enforcement officials who, he claims, decided he was guilty long before any evidence was tested against him by a competent court of law. He says the investigators have “egregious conduct”, which demonstrates “bad faith litigation” and improper use of coercive statutory powers. Mzwinila also says the applicant does not approach the court with clean hands.
