EFF deputy president Floyd Shivambu has publicly commended KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi for demonstrating leadership and ethical conduct. “We commend Commissioner Mkhwanazi for his courage and integrity,” Shivambu stated, highlighting the commissioner as proof that principled public servants still serve in government.
Shivambu emphasized that Mkhwanazi’s firm stance reflects true patriotism – a commitment to upholding the rule of law and safeguarding South Africa’s democracy. However, he stressed that maintaining justice requires collective effort beyond any single official.
“The responsibility now lies with the public, media, judiciary, and crucially President Ramaphosa, to take bold action and ensure accountability triumphs over impunity,” Shivambu declared. His statement serves as a rallying cry for all sectors of society to actively demand transparency and consequences for wrongdoing.
Using the hashtag #MayibuyeIAfrika, Shivambu linked this call to action with South Africa’s broader struggle for justice and equality. His remarks underscore the ongoing need to protect democratic values and ensure no individual operates above the law.
The EFF leader’s comments come at a time when public trust in institutions remains fragile. By praising Mkhwanazi while challenging broader society to act, Shivambu positions ethical leadership as both an example to celebrate and a standard to demand across all levels of government.
