After the tables were turned on him and he faced his own corruption allegations over tender fraud, which Briefly News reported, Mkhwanazi is once again facing another scandal.
According to Sunday World, Mkhwanazi is being accused of misconduct in the kidnapping of Zak Desai in 2024. He and his men allegedly took personal property belonging to Esmael Maulide Ramos Nangy, Setefane Pereira da Costa Brites, and Samkeliso Mlotshwa.

Responding to the reports was Sol Phenduka on 29 July, who exclaimed, "It has begun," seemingly alluding to having expected it.
The stolen items include Rolex watches, a Mercedes-Benz and R53,000 in cash. Mkhwanazi and his men face charges of abduction, torture, arson, perjury, and illegal extradition.
South Africans are uneasy about the allegations and suspect that they are orchestrated after the provincial commissioner stepped on several corrupt toes.
Here's what Mzansi said about General Mkhwanazi's allegations
Social media users said they were not surprised, and many continue to stand with General Mkhwanazi:
nuttyy wrote:
"His contract ends in December; the aim is that when that time comes, there must be an investigation into him so that he is not considered for the renewal or reappointment. Whether the allegations are true or made up, they don't care but want to taint him so that he goes."
Hlathilempunga asked:
"What if this is what the general was trying to avoid by coming out? He knew his time was up, but decided to take the whole corruption-riddled police service down with him?"
sipho_mate added:
"They are using a predictable strategy."

"We knew it was coming, right?"
iam_Sfetso posted:
"They were never just gonna let it slide just like that."
Explicit888 commented:
"These attacks on Lt Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi reek of retaliation. A man who exposed corruption at the highest levels is now being targeted with flimsy claims and zero evidence. South Africa must see through the smokescreen."
