THE FUSE

The Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) has firmly rejected claims that a warrant of arrest was issued for KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, even as Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi has reportedly demanded an urgent report on the charges against Crime Intelligence boss Lieutenant-General Dumisani Khumalo. The dramatic developments follow a chaotic scene at the Brooklyn Police Station in Pretoria on Thursday, where Khumalo and Major-General Nosipho Madondo presented themselves expecting to be arrested—only to be sent home after IDAC officials failed to appear. The confusion has exposed deep tensions between law enforcement agencies, with Mkhwanazi declaring: “We are facing a war”.
