Suspended EMPD Deputy Chief Julius Mkhwanazi.
Suspended deputy chief of police at the Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department (EMPD), Commissioner Julius Mkhwanazi, returns to the Madlanga Commission for further cross-examination on Thursday morning.
Mkhwanazi has been questioned about the alleged theft of precious stones in Rosebank, Johannesburg, which involved members of the EMPD.
He previously testified that the operation in Rosebank was a joint operation with members of the Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD).
While Mkhwanazi has maintained that the police operation involving precious stones in Rosebank, Johannesburg, was a joint crackdown involving members of the JMPD, evidence before the Commission suggests otherwise.
Only two EMPD members, Kersha Leigh-Stols and Aiden McKenzie, were at the crime scene.
They were joined by Etienne van der Walt, a member of a private security company.
Mkhwanazi later conceded to the Commission that the operation was not a joint effort with JMPD members.
Mkhwanazi, Stols and McKenzie have been linked to an alleged rogue unit operating within the EMPD.
