The Madlanga Commission is currently investigating Julius Mkhwanazi, the Deputy Chief of the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD) who is presently suspended. The inquiry centers on accusations that Mkhwanazi unilaterally established a “Peace Corps” unit without proper authorization. A key concern is that individuals with criminal records were reportedly included within this unit. The commission is examining the circumstances surrounding the unit’s formation and the vetting process, or lack thereof, for its members. These allegations raise questions about oversight and security protocols within the EMPD. Mkhwanazi’s actions are under intense scrutiny as the commission seeks to determine if regulations were violated and if public safety was compromised. The investigation is ongoing, with further details expected to emerge as the commission continues its work.
