KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.
The South African Police Service (SAPS) confirmed that KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi’s contract has been extended by a further five years.
SAPS confirmed on Saturday that the decision followed consultations with KwaZulu-Natal Premier Thami Ntuli.
National police commissioner General Fannie Masemola welcomed the move, saying Mkhwanazi was expected to continue providing “stability and decisive leadership in the province”.
Mkhwanazi returns to the role at a time when KwaZulu-Natal remains one of the country’s most challenging policing environments, with high levels of violent crime, including politically-linked killings and organised criminal activity.
