KZN Police Boss General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi Declares ‘War Is On’ After IDAC Fails to Execute Arrest Warrants Against Him and Crime Intelligence Boss Dumisani Khumalo in Pretoria The Independent Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) did not execute arrest warrants against two senior SAPS Crime Intelligence officers despite expectations that arrests would take place. The apparent decision not to proceed has raised questions about what may have changed, with authorities yet to provide a full explanation for the development. The situation unfolded at the Brooklyn Police Station in Pretoria, where Crime Intelligence Head General Dumisani Khumalo reported after being instructed to do so. KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi also travelled to the station after receiving information that he too was expected to present himself. The reasons for the apparent delay remain unclear. Speaking to the media, Mkhwanazi said intelligence indicated that IDAC had issued a 48-hour ultimatum for him and Khumalo to hand themselves over. Explaining why he went to Pretoria, he said, “If they’re looking for me, I might as well be close by.” When asked whether the developments pointed to a turf war, Mkhwanazi replied: “Yes.” The development comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Crime Intelligence and investigations into allegations of corruption, abuse of power and criminality within sections of law enforcement. An annoyed Mkhwanazi said “the war is on,” while the decision not to proceed with the arrests is likely to fuel further speculation and calls for transparency from authorities. - @news.panther
