The City of Ekurhuleni fires suspended EMPD deputy chief Julius Mkhwanazi following a disciplinary process. Multiple outlets report that the move follows ongoing allegations and legal proceedings involving his conduct.
The reports link the firing to corruption allegations and a court matter connected to a murder case. One outlet describes Mkhwanazi as facing several criminal cases, including charges of murder and corruption. Another outlet states the decision follows a lengthy disciplinary process. While outlets focus on different aspects—such as the disciplinary outcome versus the criminal charges—the overall picture remains that he is removed from his position while cases continue.
No outlet in the provided reports offers details of the evidence, the specific charges in each case, or the timing of the underlying court proceedings. The firing is presented as an administrative and employment action, distinct from the ongoing criminal cases.
