Former crime intelligence head Richard Mdluli released on parole

On Tuesday, the Department of Correctional Services confirmed that former Crime Intelligence boss Richard Mdluli has been placed on parole.

Mdluli was sentenced to 5 years imprisonment for the kidnapping and assault of his former lover Tshidi Buthelezi, her husband Oupa Ramogibe, and a friend Alice Manana, in 1998.

Mdluli was sentenced to five years for kidnapping, intimidation and assault in 2020 and released in 2022.

Because Mdluli committed the crime in 1998, he fell under the “Phaahla judgment” regime – crimes committed before 1 October 2004 – meaning that his eligibility for parole has been determined on a previous parole regime.

As such, Mdluli was considered for parole after serving a third of his sentence.
