KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi was first in line to present evidence on Wednesday when he appeared before the commission of inquiry investigating criminality, political interference and corruption in the justice system.

Mkhwanazi's July media briefing sent shock waves around the country when he alleged SAPS deputy national commissioner Lt-Gen Shadrack Sibiya had disobeyed instructions about the disbandment of the province’s political task team investigating high-profile murders.
