KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi will return to the witness stand on Thursday to continue his testimony at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry.
As the first witness called by the commission, Mkhwanazi’s initial testimony on Wednesday was highly anticipated. He revealed that outside interference had prematurely halted the work of the specialized Political Killings Task Team, a key unit investigating high-profile assassinations in the province.
His ongoing testimony is expected to provide further details on the nature of this interference and the impact it had on critical investigations. The commission is examining allegations of widespread criminality and political meddling within South Africa’s criminal justice system.
