SEASONED specialist investigator Mike Bolhuis has praised the courage displayed by KwaZulu-Natal provincial police commissioner, Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi who singled out Police Minister Senzo Mchunu, deputy national police commissioner, Lieutenant General Shadrack Sibiya in the rot crippling policing in South Africa.

“Crime can only flourish when there is police involvement. Over the years, it has been proven that crime pays, and that is why everyone gets onto the bandwagon. If you look away and don't do anything about it (crime), which I understand those in the police do not do anything about because they could be killed, they could not be promoted and they could be dealt with severely and in other ways.

“We see this now coming to this, a level where any unit that is just in the slightest a threat to those who are committing the organised crime, it is like a mafioso setup. It is like a group of people that has hijacked this country ... taken power and control,” Bolhuis spoke to SABC News.
