Suspended EMPD deputy chief Mkhwanazi served with a fifth arrest warrant

# Suspended Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department deputy chief Julius Mkhwanazi was served with his fifth arrest warrant yesterday, linked to the blue-lights saga involving alleged underworld figure Vusimusi “Cat” Matlala. Mkhwanazi is alleged to have unlawfully approved the fitting of blue lights to four private luxury vehicles linked to Matlala’s security company, Cat Protection Services. The vehicles were allegedly irregularly registered as City of Ekurhuleni assets. The Independent Police Investigative Directorate says the two will appear in the Germiston Magistrate’s Court today.
