Blue lights fitted on vehicles.
Suspended Ekurhuleni Deputy Police chief Commissioner Julius Mkhwanazi has maintained that no blue lights were fitted on the private vehicles of attempted murder accused, Vusumuzi “Cat” Matlala.
Matlala, who is at the centre of corruption allegations in the City of Ekurhuleni, donated four vehicles to the Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department (EMPD).
Mkhwanazi has testified that while the vehicles were in the process of being registered, they were never handed over to the city.
Mkhwanazi has further claimed that he was suspended for something that never happened.
“And I must mention that I raised it many times, chair and advocate, that show me the photos of these four vehicles. Show me where you stored them, show me where you got blue lights. Because this story was on Instagram, and within our media team, somebody was making notes. They were calling me blue light blesser in each and every article.”
