SA is blessed to have Mkhwanazi in its ranks
The Mercury
|October 13, 2025
THE chickens are coming home to roost. It started with controversial businessman Hangwani Maumela. Then followed General Shadrack Sibiya. One wonders ... who's next?
The Asset Forfeiture Unit is on a determined stride, and the nation watches with a mixture of suspense, amusement, and disbelief.
Every day in the hearing room feels like a live broadcast of a national drama where the stakes are reputations, integrity, and sometimes, careers.
Step into the hearing room and you feel the weight of history pressing down. This is more than a legal exercise; it is a national mirror reflecting our collective character.
Familiar names enter with the confidence of seasoned veterans, only to falter under questions that demand more than rehearsed statements. Furrowed brows, long pauses, carefully constructed evasions it's a national audition for accountability.
Too often, the performances fall flat, leaving the public with nothing but cynicism and the familiar taste of disappointment.
And then, during it all, stands General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. Calm, composed, and profoundly principled. In a room where obfuscation is a survival tactic, he has demonstrated the almost forgotten art of integrity.
No posturing. No theatrics. No convenient selective memory. He answers questions with clarity, provides a clear chronology of events, and brings a quiet moral authority that makes even the most seasoned politicians pause.
