Malema offers Mkhwanazi position in the EFF

A note from our President Dagada; 

EFF leader Julius Malema has extended an invitation to KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi to join his party if he is fired from his position. Mkhwanazi recently made startling allegations against senior law enforcement officials, including police minister Senzo Mchunu, accusing him of interfering in police investigations and colluding with businesspeople to disband the political killings task team in KwaZulu-Natal. Mchunu was placed on special leave by President Cyril Ramaphosa pending an investigation by the judicial commission of inquiry while law professor Firoz Cachalia was appointed acting police minister. Speaking at his party’s 12th anniversary on Saturday at the Khayelitsha Rugby Stadium in the Western Cape, Malema expressed his support for Mkhwanazi. “We say to Mkhwanazi do not be shaken because if they fire you there's a position for you in the EFF so we can continue to fight corruption in SA,” Malema said. “We are general Mkhwanazi and general Mkhwanazi is us. We support Mkhwanazi and we are not ashamed of him.” An ad hoc committee has been established in parliament to investigate Mkhwanazi's claims. Malema said this is an opportunity to expose other criminal activities in the country.
