OPINION | Police Ministers at the centre of Political Interference, Why?

Share the Article:

The evidence of General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi and National Commissioner Fannie Masemola has thoroughly exposed three political heads of the police.

Former police ministers Nathi Mthethwa, Bheki Cele and the current Minister Senzo Mchunu who is on leave of absence, are stripped naked by this damning statements of General Mkhwanazi and General Masemola. Not only were they stripped naked, but their corrupt agenda was also exposed.

Whilst we know that all that was presented before the Commission is still allegations, we don’t have any reason not to believe  Mkhwanazi and Masemola.

We have said before that the country is governed by criminals. It was now confirmed by Mkhwanazi and Masemola that the police minister Senzo Mchunu allegedly is highly involved with dangerous criminals.

Political head angry over suspect’s arrest

General Masemola told the Commission that it is the first time in his police career that he sees a police minister getting angry when the police are arresting a suspected murderer, This is really serious.

Activists and Citizens Forum are vindicated. When we warned former minister Bheki Cele must not get involved in operational matters of the police because that is the duty of the men and women in blue, and that he is the political head of the department, he showed us the middle finger. 

His successor, Minister Senzo Mchunu, followed directly in his footsteps. We also warned him not to do that.

The bombshells that were released  before the Commission are  just the tip of an iceberg, the country will hear more explosive evidence from senior officials of the police.

Seeing that General Masemola mentioned President Cyril Ramaphosa’s name in his presentation, we expect the President to appear before the commission, because he is directly implicated.
