Several political parties in the City of Ekurhuleni have tabled a motion calling for the suspension of acting metro police chief Brig Julius Mkhwanazi, who was implicated in the Madlanga inquiry and linked to crime-accused Vusimuzi Cat Matlala.
The motion, brought by the DA, ATM and the Independent Ratepayers Association of SA Irasa and which is expected to be debated in the council on Thursday, follows testimony by KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi last week, where he alleged that Matlala, a businessman, received special treatment from Ekhurhulenis law enforcement offices.
Mkhwanazi said Matlala used vehicles fitted with police blue lights that had been fraudulently registered under the municipality by Mkhwanazi, while he was director of specialised services.
