Ekurhuleni Metro Police deputy chief Julius Mkhwanazi suspended
The Mercury
|November 12, 2025
THE City of Ekurhuleni has suspended Metro Police deputy chief, Brigadier Julius Mkhwanazi, following an internal audit that found evidence of possible misconduct.
The suspension, effective from yesterday, was described as an administrative step to protect the integrity of the disciplinary process.
In a statement, city officials stressed that it does not amount to a finding of guilt, and formal disciplinary proceedings will follow.
City Manager Kagiso Lerutla said the decision comes amid serious revelations emerging from the Madlanga Commission into alleged corruption and political interference in South Africa's criminal justice system.
"The testimony emerging from the Madlanga Commission is both shocking and deeply concerning. It points to systemic issues that this administration will not tolerate.
"We are unequivocally committed to clean governance, accountability, and restoring public trust in our municipality," Lerutla said.
