Former Ekurhuleni Employee Relations Director, Xolani Nciza testifying at the Madlanga Commission
Former Ekurhuleni Municipality employee relations head, Xolani Nciza has described how the Ekurhuleni Metro Police (EMPD) was weaponised against him after his suspension.
Nciza was suspended from the City of Ekurhuleni in September 2023 for his role in the disciplinary hearing of EMPD Deputy Chief Brigadier Julius Mkhwanazi.
Brigadier Mkhwanazi has been implicated in the unlawful fitting of blue lights on the vehicles of attempted murder accused, Vusimuzi ‘Cat’ Matlala.
Nciza, who was responding to Commissioner Advocate Sesi Baloyi, alluded to an abuse of resources when six metro police officers came to his house early in the morning to pick up his work laptop.
“This time it was three vehicles? With six.. Each vehicle has two people inside it. There were three vehicles that came to my house at that time of the day. I’m suggesting Mr Nciza to the chairperson that maybe you are being unfair to these three vehicles. The one was gong to carry the charger, the other one the bag and the other one the laptop. Be kind.”
