Latest twist in unfolding police war, with Tankiso Makhetha
Loading player...
If claims are anything to go by right now, the top brass of the South African Police Service (SAPS) appears to be at severe odds following bombshell claims that shady figures have captured the police. Like Police Minister Senzo Mchunu, deputy national police commissioner Shadrack Sibiya has also been forced to take a leave of absence. He claims that KwaZulu-Natal’s provincial police commissioner, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, is conducting his own parallel probe, requesting details of certain case dockets linked to the disbanding of the Political Killings Task Team. To get the latest in this cop versus cop tit for tat, we speak to Tankiso Makhetha for this edition of The Lead. Later in the show: The president says it would be unfair to fire the police minister prematurely. Finally, a US ghost hunter dies while leading a creepy doll tour.
