Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi Says 'War' Is Brewing as IDAC Summons Crime Intelligence Boss

GAUTENG – Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi has claimed that there’s a war brewing, with many players involved.

The KwaZulu-Natal Police Provincial Commissioner made the comments outside the Brooklyn Police Station in Pretoria, where Lieutenant General Dumisani Khumalo was asked to present himself.

Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) summoned the Crime Intelligence Head to report to the station, reportedly adding that he needed to bring an overnight bag, suggesting that he would be arrested.

As the story developed, IDAC denied that any arrest had taken place, stating that General Khumalo was only summoned. His lawyer also claimed that IDAC was a no-show at the police station.

He explained that they received information that IDAC had 48-hours to bring himself and General Khumalo to the cells. The KZN Police Commissioner claimed that IDAC panicked after receiving false information that its head was going to be arrested.
