KZN Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi alleges that high-profile individuals, including politicians and police officials, are involved with criminal syndicates interfering with police work.

These claims are being investigated by a commission of inquiry.

Seabe wrote an opinion piece for News24, in which he argues that the inquiry into these claims is extremely important for South Africa's future.

He believes the inquiry will expose far more than what Mkhwanazi has alleged so far.
