Mkhwanazi made headlines following a series of allegations against Police Minister Senzo Mchunu and Deputy National Commissioner for Crime Detection, Shadrack Sibiya.
Mkhwanazi also revealed that a total of 121 cases that were under investigation were taken away from the political killings task team before its disbandment.

“Fighters we are Mkhwanazi and Mkhwanazi is us, we support Mkhwanazi. We are not ashamed of General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. We are calling upon more Mkhwanazi’s in the police to come out and fight crime and syndicates that has captured the police, that has captured our country. We will not sit back and allow our country to be controlled by drug syndicates. We say to Mkhwanazi do not be shaken because if they fire you there’s a position for you in the EFF so that we can continue to fight corruption in South Africa.”
