Lt Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi
Provincial Commissioner of Police in Kwa-Zulu Natal
Lt Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi is a senior South African Police Service officer who served as Acting Provincial Commissioner in KwaZulu-Natal in 2018, around the time the President announced an Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC). His testimony before the Madlanga Commission focused on his oversight of a special operational approach and investigation strategy developed to address problems in the province, including a prosecution strategy. Mkhwanazi stated that as head of the province he revised the relevant plan, kept the National Commissioner informed of the strategy, and that a submission with budget implications for the task team was made by him. He remained responsible for the Political Task Team’s work even after moving to head office in 2019.
