There seems to be some confusion. The available information doesn’t support the claim that EFF leader Julius Malema has called on Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi to take responsibility for a “mess” created under his leadership. Instead, Malema has been vocal in his support for Mkhwanazi, praising his efforts to expose corruption and crime within the South African Police Service.
In fact, Malema has Called for Mkhwanazi to be retained in the police force and elevated to a national role, citing his crucial work in fighting crime and corruption Described Mkhwanazi as a “hero” for exposing the rot in the SAPS and standing up against political interference Expressed concern that Mkhwanazi might be victimized for his actions and offered him a position in the EFF if he were to lose his job
Malema’s backing for Mkhwanazi stems from the latter’s allegations of high-level corruption and political interference within the police service, particularly involving Police Minister Senzo Mchunu. Malema has urged President Cyril Ramaphosa to fire Mchunu, citing his alleged involvement in shielding criminal syndicates embedded in law enforcement and politics
