Deputy National Commissioner Accuses KwaZulu-Natal Police Boss of Power Struggle

Deputy national commissioner for crime detection, Shadrack Sibiya, has accused KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, of using corruption allegations to prevent him from becoming national police commissioner.

Sibiya testified before parliament's ad hoc committee on police corruption, stating that Mkhwanazi's media briefing in July was motivated by a "battle for power in the police", rather than a genuine attempt to expose wrongdoing.
