"The target on my back had grown exponentially" - Top quotes from KZN Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi

Top quotes from KZN Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi on Day 2 of the Madlanga Commission.

1. "There’s a lot of interference with these investigations in different forms, as is listed there, in order to try and close these cases by businesspeople and politicians and by large, because there are political cases, the people on the higher level of the syndicates that are involved are the ones that are behind the closures of dockets."

2. "In that interview, I also stated that there should not be someone, there should not be someone from head office influencing the Minister to destroy or attempt to halt investigations. In other words, the PKT was now fighting criminal syndicates involved in the political killings, on the other hand, and at the same time, had to contend with forces within the state apparatus indirectly fighting the Pktt through the executive, the minister and highly placed members of ACPs with a view to sabotage critical investigation."

I was aware that after this interview, the target on my back had grown exponentially.
