Siphokazi Magangana ha sido condenado a siete años de prisión por el Tribunal Regional de Roodepoort por corrupción y lavado de dinero. El acusado se declaró culpable de los cargos.

En agosto de 2022, mientras trabajaba en la oficina de la Autoridad Nacional de Fiscalía en Johannesburgo, Magangana abordó a una denunciante en el centro comercial Clearwater Shopping Mall. Le ofreció conseguirle un puesto como fiscal pública a cambio de 10 000 rands.

El portavoz de la NPA, Magaboke Mohlatlole, reaccionó a la sentencia. Declaró que la corrupción dentro del sistema de justicia penal socava el estado de derecho y erosiona la confianza pública en las instituciones del Estado. La NPA mantiene su compromiso de garantizar la rendición de cuentas de los funcionarios que abusan de sus cargos de confianza.
