Johannesburg - KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi is facing serious trouble as MP and National Coloured Congress leader Fadiel Adams is laying a criminal complaint against him. The complaint stems from Mkhwanazi's earlier statement implicating former police minister Bheki Cele in receiving funds from Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala.
The KZN police chief has since retracted his statement and issued an apology to Cele. However, the situation is further complicated by allegations made by Mkhwanazi against Adams himself, accusing the MP of interfering with police matters.
Fadiel Adams has vehemently denied these allegations, setting the stage for a potentially explosive legal battle. The criminal complaint is expected to be officially lodged today, and details surrounding the charges are anticipated to be revealed shortly.
This developing story raises serious questions about the integrity of law enforcement and political figures in KwaZulu-Natal. The outcome of this case could have significant ramifications for both Mkhwanazi and Adams, as well as potentially impacting the broader political landscape.
