In a clip shared by @newslivesa, Mkhwanazi was unaware that a huge piece of tissue was distracting the other commissioners. Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga informed him, and he thanked him nervously.
“Sorry, Commissioner Julius Mkhwanazi, OH, you have a tissue stuck on your forehead”, said Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga. Julius responded with, “It's because I'm sweating, Commissioner, oh thank you, thank you.”
Although this gave some netizens a reason to chuckle, Sizwe Dhlomo chose a different approach, to sympathise with him.
"Shame, man. Uyazi lobaba uyadabukisa," he reacted, which is loosely translated to, "Shame, man. You know this man breaks my heart."
Mkhwanazi is accused of gross dishonesty and negligence and is facing 13 charges of fraud. He allegedly fitted Vusumuzi 'Cat' Matlala's vehicles with blue lights.

@Mmalenyalo_ said:
"From morning, we all felt bad for him. But we all had to snap out of it because of all the things he has done. His mother, who only carries Hermes bags, can’t even help him pay his legal fees to show that criminals don’t care."

"Wait, normally these things have really strong air cons. Why is this dude sweating?"
@REGI810248 stated:
"This guy is implicated in a person who was killed and dumped in a dam. And the witness who implicated them was also killed... I don't feel sorry for him at all!!! He must humiliate himself some more!!!"
