Media personality Sizwe Dhlomo has reacted to Police Minister Senzo Mchunu's request to be placed on special leave by President Cyril Ramaphosa.

Mchunu made headlines this week when the Public Protector launched a formal investigation into the Police Minister's allegations levelled by General Mkwanazi.

The Kaya 959 radio personality commented on TimesLIVE's X post about Mchunu's request to be placed on leave after Mkhwanazi exposed him a week ago.

The publication shared on Sunday, 13 July, that the minister asked President Cyril Ramaphosa to grant him special leave as calls grow for his immediate removal following allegations that he is associated with criminals who have state secrets.

"Told you," said Dhlomo on his X account on Sunday, 13 July.

South African women swoon over General Mkhwanazi: “How do we contact him?”

In more entertainment news, Briefly News reported this July that South African women on social media can't help but drool over KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.

The policeman made headlines this week when social media users raised over R30,000 on Backabuddy to gift two cows to "Lord Mkhwanazi".

South African women are wondering if the top cop is currently married or single after spotting him without a wedding band in several photos.
