# ActionSA supports the recommendation by acting Police minister Firoz Cachalia to appoint KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi as the national head of the Hawks. Cachalia has submitted a Cabinet Memorandum seeking Cabinet’s concurrence for the appointment. ActionSA’s Stephan Gerber says this recommendation comes after months of investigations, commissions, parliamentary committees and mounting public pressure over the alleged infiltration of the police service by criminal elements operating within its ranks. He says Mkhwanazi brought these concerns into the national spotlight last year:
