Ipid Confirms Probe Into Allegations Against Mkhwanazi

The Independent Police Investigative Directorate Ipid has confirmed its investigation into allegations surrounding KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner, Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.

Ipid says the probe is in connection with Mkhwanazis alleged interference with the arrest of a senior Correctional Services official in Richards Bay in 2023.

The Independent Police Investigative Directorate has confirmed that it has requested a sworn statement from Mkhwanazi by March 19.

It has clarified that the investigation follows an anonymous complaint from the public and not a letter written to Mkhwanazi from Ipids Acting Head of Investigations.

Ipid further states that the investigation is in its infancy stages and that it will only engage on the matter once the investigation is concluded.
