Summary
Julius Mkhwanazi, former deputy chief commissioner of the EMPD, has been fired amid mounting allegations of corruption and misconduct — just weeks after his suspension. Compounding the scandal, he’s now in court facing murder charges tied to the death of Emmanuel Mbense. The fallout threatens public trust in the department and underscores the urgent need for accountability — even at the highest levels. This story is still unfolding, with major implications for both Mkhwanazi and the EMPD as more details emerge. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
