This move would have granted the businessman the appearance of official law enforcement protection.<\/p>\n<div class=\"iframeWrapper\"><\/div>\n<p>The testimony follows evidence earlier this week by former Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) head Robert McBride, who rejected claims that he targeted police officials or interfered in police operations.<\/p>\n<p>Mkhwanazi is no stranger to controversy. He previously testified before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, where his relationship with Matlala came under intense examination.<\/p>\n<p>The commission heard evidence that police blue lights were fitted to Matlala\u2019s private vehicles and that Mkhwanazi played a role in enabling the process \u2014 allegations he has consistently denied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t install blue lights. I didn\u2019t brand the cars,\u201d Mkhwanazi told the commission that he did not physically even see the cars.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, questions persist about his conduct while serving in Ekurhuleni.<\/p>\n<p>The Madlanga Commission also heard that Mkhwanazi received a R200,000 salary increase upon his appointment as EMPD deputy chief, despite the scandal already swirling around the blue lights matter.<\/p>\n<p>Critics argue the promotion reflected a troubling culture of impunity within the metro police service.<\/p>\n<p>As acting chief, Mkhwanazi oversaw critical law enforcement operations in one of Gauteng\u2019s largest metros, raising the stakes of the allegations now before Parliament.<\/p>\n<p>His suspension has further intensified concerns about governance, accountability and political oversight within EMPD.<\/p>\n<p>The committee is expected to hear from forensic investigator Paul O\u2019Sullivan next week, although it remains unclear whether he will testify in person.<\/p>\n<p>His evidence could further sharpen the focus on alleged collusion between senior police officials and criminal networks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>kamogelo.moichela@iol.co.za<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> Politics<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Suspended EMPD acting chief Julius Mkhwanazi is back in the hot seat, this time testifying before Parliament\u2019s Ad Hoc Committee, where he will be grilled over his connections to controversial businessman and alleged crime boss Vusimuzi \u201cCat\u201d Matlala.
