Alarm over 'weaponised prosecutions' of top cops

Charges against National Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola and Lieutenant-General Dumisani Khumalo were withdrawn, sparking a debate on the use of prosecutions to settle internal scores. National Director of Public Prosecutions Andy Mothibi stated that the charges against Masemola, related to the irregular awarding of a health services contract, were dropped after a review. Rumors of an arrest warrant for Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi were denied by IDAC.
