EMPD Chief Mkhwanazi’s case postponed
EMPD Chief Mkhwanazi's case postponed to September 18 in the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court
The case involving suspended Ekurhuleni Metro Police Deputy Chief Julius Mkhwanazi and three others, accused of stealing precious stones worth nearly R15 million, has been postponed to September 18 in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court. Mkhwanazi and his co-accused, referred to as Witness K, will face charges related to the alleged theft that occurred in 2023.
Witness K had previously testified before the Madlanga Commission, implicating Mkhwanazi in the operation and stating that they each received 110 000 from the proceeds. Mkhwanazi denies these allegations, claiming that Witness K fabricated the story out of bitterness after their brief romantic relationship ended in 2023. The alleged theft took place at a property in Killarney, Johannesburg, during a purported police operation.
