Former Police Minister Bheki Cele says he was surprised by some of the allegations made by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi in July this year.
Mkhwanazi made allegations of criminal infiltration, corruption and political interference in the criminal justice system, involving among others, Police minister Senzo Mchunu, who has been placed on special leave.
Cele is appearing before Parliaments Ad Hoc Committee looking into these allegations.
