Breaking news: TOP EMPD Chief Julius Mkhwanazi has been arrested

eNCA reporter Pule Jones reports the arrest of suspended Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department deputy chief Julius Mkhwanazi on charges including defeating the ends of justice, citing IPID sources who say investigators were not informed.

Mkhwanazi was suspended in November 2025 following an internal audit into allegations of corruption, abuse of power, irregular promotions, and involvement in covering up incidents such as a Brakpan murder scene.

Recent testimony at the Madlanga Commission has intensified scrutiny over his actions, with public reactions on X framing the arrest as further accountability within South African law enforcement.
