“I’ll Bring More Evidence If You Go to Media” — Mkhwanazi Sparks Uproar in Parliament

17

KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi has made a bold call before Parliament’s ad hoc committee, suggesting that South Africa’s entire Crime Intelligence division should be disbanded and rebuilt from scratch.

Mkhwanazi told Members of Parliament that the current structure had become too compromised and entangled in corruption to serve its intended purpose. “We need to close Crime Intelligence and remove everyone who is there,” he said, stressing that the unit had strayed far from its mandate of protecting the nation from organized crime and internal threats.

The commissioner’s remarks come amid growing concerns about political interference and abuse of the intelligence apparatus. Mkhwanazi’s testimony before both the Madlanga Commission and Parliament has repeatedly highlighted how intelligence resources were allegedly diverted for personal gain, political agendas, and unlawful surveillance — rather than genuine policing priorities.

In a tense exchange, Mkhwanazi also issued a stern warning to MPs who have been leaking internal proceedings to the media. “If you go to the media again, honourable members, I will come back here with more evidence,” he cautioned, hinting that he holds even more explosive information that could further implicate individuals within law enforcement and government.

His remarks have sparked heated debate, with some describing his proposal as a necessary purge to restore credibility, while others argue that dismantling the intelligence unit entirely could endanger national security. Nonetheless, Mkhwanazi’s statement reflects deep frustration over the lack of accountability and the persistent culture of secrecy within the country’s intelligence community.

As the inquiry continues, his call for a full overhaul of Crime Intelligence underscores just how serious the institutional rot may be — and how far-reaching the reforms will need to be to rebuild public trust in the SAPS.
