There’s no doubt that Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi is the man of the moment after his explosive press conference on Sunday 6 July 2025. The KwaZulu-Natal Commissioner’s impressive qualifications have outspoken activist and multi-talented poet Ntsiki Mazwai swooning.

Mkhwanazi earned Mzansi’s respect after having the nerve to make potentially career-ending allegations against Police Minister Senzo Mchunu and Deputy National Police Commissioner for Crime Detection, Lieutenant General Shadrack Sibiya. Ntsiki Mazwai joined Mzansi in praising Mkhwanazi and shared his educational qualifications as well as his work experience as a member of the South African Police Service (SAPS).

Which educational qualifications does Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi hold?

The internationally acclaimed poet researched and shared Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi’s impressive educational qualifications and experience as a member of SAPS.

“General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi's credentials are impressive,” Mazwai said.

According to Mazwai, Mkhwanazi holds relevant policing qualifications: a B-Tech degree in Policing and a National Diploma in Police Administration.

As part of his police training, Mkhwanazi received specialised training. He holds a supervisor role qualification in counter-terrorism investigations from the USA and a qualification in bomb disposal from South Africa. He also completed Crisis Response Team Training in the USA.

What work experience does General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi have?

Having joined SAPS as a student constable in 1993, Mkhwanazi rose through the ranks to his current rank.

General Mkhawanazi served as the Head of the Special Task Force and Divisional Commissioner for Human Resource Development. He also served as the acting National Commissioner of Police and Provincial Commissioner for KwaZulu-Natal, specialising in counter-terrorism, tactical response, special operations, hostage situations, air wing, and bomb disposal.

The outspoken poet said that, given his educational qualifications and work experience, it was no surprise that he was taking a strong stance against crime in South Africa.

“Given his educational background, it is no wonder that General Mkhwanazi takes a strong stance against crime, ibethiwe ke lendoda. Ayo candre deployment le,” Mazwai praised.
