Top policeman shakes South Africa with explosive allegations about his boss
Highly respected South African police officer, Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, has shocked the nation by alleging that criminal groups have infiltrated President Cyril Ramaphosa's administration. Mkhwanazi accused Police Minister Senzo Mchunu of links to criminal gangs and claimed an elite unit investigating political murders was shut down after uncovering a drug cartel. Despite facing controversy and being investigated for alleged interference in criminal cases, Mkhwanazi, known for his brave stance against corruption, has gained public support. Mchunu has denied the allegations, and as South Africa anticipates a new acting police minister, Mkhwanazi's credibility hangs on proving his claims.
