The fight in the police top brass took a dramatic turn at the weekend with a public fallout between KZN police commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi and provincial Hawks head Maj-Gen Lesetja Senona.
The drama between Mkhwanazi and Senona escalated yesterday afternoon with Mkhwanazi releasing a bizarre statement detailing his reasons for throwing Senona out of his office on Saturday. Mkhwanazi accused Senona of breaching protocol by going to his office on a weekend and not signing the register.
The public spat between the two senior SAPS officials has raised concerns about causing reputational damage to the SAPS and hampering its efforts to fight crime.
