President Jacob Zuma’s decision to appoint Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi as the acting National Police Commissioner last week continues to raise eyebrows.
Weekend reports say Mkhwanazi leapfrogged at least 30 more senior police officials to grab the position from suspended top cop Bheki Cele.
Cele was suspended while a commission of enquiry investigates his involvement in doggy police headquarters lease deal.
The DA’s Diane Kohler Barnard says they want to know which other candidates were considered for the position and why Mkhwanazi was selected over them.
