# Former KwaZulu-Natal Hawks boss Johan Booysen says leadership conflicts within SAPS are hindering crime-fighting efforts. Booysen was reacting to testimonies by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkwanazi and National Commissioner Fannie Masemola before the Madlanga Commission in Pretoria. Booysen, who testified at the Zondo Commission, says nothing has changed since 2011, recalling political interference and the closure of key units. He likened the current situation to déjà vu, warning it undermines policing integrity.
