President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to address the nation at 7pm following accusations last weekend by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.
The SABC will carry the Presidents address live on its channels including radio, TV and online.
Mkhwanazi made allegations last weekend against Police Minister Senzo Mchunu and senior police officials.
Political Analyst Professor Ntsikelelo Breakfast believes Ramaphosa must place Mchunu on special leave.
We are all hoping that he will take us seriously and not let us down by sort of like undermining us or insulting our intelligence as if we cannot read between the lines that there are problems in SAPS. What I cannot confirm at the moment, in my opinion, is the validity of those claims. But, and its a big but, I think I can confirm the brokenness of SAPS because I think that is quite palpable to see.
