Ndumiso Gcwabe

Ndumiso Gcwabe is a former director within the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD) whose conduct came under scrutiny during the commission’s proceedings. He was identified as having begun the vetting process after being supplied with the necessary forms, and faced questions regarding a donation he received—reportedly R300,000 worth of stationery from VIP or Medicare—without the city manager’s approval. Legal counsel suggested that this donation issue was a distraction from the core accusations at hand. Additionally, Gcwabe was implicated in allegations that, alongside other senior officials, he deliberately failed to implement a Law Enforcement Skills Programme for metropolitan police departments.
