Bathong! The KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Police Commissioner, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, continues to be the talk of the town.

The latest to make the stand is a content creator who shared a video on social media expressing her admiration for the renowned South African law enforcement official. Mkhwanazi has won praise from the public after he made recent bold revelations about alleged deep-rooted crime and corruption within the police force and its connections to powerful politicians.

One of those whom General Mkhwanazi implicated was Police Minister Senzo Mchunu, who denied the allegations levelled against him by the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Police Commissioner. Following South African President Cyril Ramaphosa's speech on Sunday, 13 July 2025, Mchunu was placed on immediate "leave of absence" after allegations of links to organised crime groups were made against him.
