New Police Minister Must Prioritise Gang Crisis Over Political Turf Wars
GOOD welcomes the appointment of Professor Firoz Cachalia to this critical portfolio at a time when public trust in the police is dangerously low, and the entire criminal justice system is under unprecedented scrutiny. The appointment follows explosive allegations made by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner, Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, implicating senior figures in our police service, intelligence structures, prosecuting authority, and political leadership. These allegations must be taken seriously, and due process must follow but they cannot be allowed to consume the entire focus of the new minister.
