Lt. General Mkhwanazi has proven that he is so dedicated to his work. He does not tolerate corruption. I have great respect for this man. This man has all the qualifications to be appointed as Minister of Police but that has been overlooked. Instead we have a man with no qualifications to hold the post whom is now suspended. Even the acting minister has no qualifications to be appointed.. The president should appointed ministers who is qualified to be in their selected posts and not friends. I salute Lt. General Mkhwanazi for this bravery act of opening the corruption even if it meant putting his life at risk. With Lt. General Mkhwanazi as minister of police we would have a corruption free police force and a safer country.
