Party spokesperson Tumelo Tshabalala says Mkhwanazi should be dismissed immediately, arguing his actions have ruined the reputation of the metro.  

"ActionSA maintains that South Africa cannot afford to delay justice until the Commission concludes its proceedings while alleged offenders remain at large. Sufficient evidence already exists to initiate criminal proceedings against those implicated. Mkhwanazi has brought both the EMPD and the City of Ekurhuleni into disrepute."
