KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi is set to expose corruption, political interference, and the protection of criminal networks within SAPS.
His explosive July 6 media briefing, initially seen as routine, shocked the country and led to the establishment of a Judicial Commission of Inquiry, chaired by retired Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga.
Mkhwanazi’s testimony is expected to reveal the depth of a scandal shaking an already embattled police service.
The first public hearing of the Madlanga Commission is scheduled for Wednesday at 10 a.m. in Pretoria, with Mkhwanazi as the leading witness.
The commission is estimated to cost R147.9 million, leading many to question whether this spending will yield any significant reforms.
