News24 | PODCAST | The Lead: Latest twist in unfolding police war, with Tankiso Makhetha

As South Africa waits to hear when the Madlanga inquiry into police capture claims officially gets under way, two of the SAPS’ top brass (including General Shadrack Sibiya pictured here) have been lobbing dirt at one another.

If claims are anything to go by right now, the top brass of the South African Police Service (SAPS) appears to be deeply divided following bombshell claims that shady figures have captured the police.

Like Police Minister Senzo Mchunu, deputy national police commissioner Shadrack Sibiya has also been forced to take a leave of absence.

He claims that KwaZulu-Natal’s provincial police commissioner, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, is conducting his own parallel probe, requesting details of certain case dockets linked to the disbanding of the KZN-based Political Killings Task Team.

To get the latest in this cop versus cop tit for tat, we speak to Tankiso Makhetha for this edition of The Lead.

Later in the show, the president says it would be unfair to fire the police minister prematurely.

Finally, a US ghost hunter dies while leading a creepy doll tour.
