Former Ekurhuleni Municipality employee relations head Xolani Nciza testified that the metro police department was weaponized against him following his suspension. He described to the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry how six officers in three vehicles arrived at his home to retrieve his work laptop, an act he characterized as intimidation.
Nciza stated that his suspension was connected to his involvement in the disciplinary process of suspended EMPD Deputy Chief Julius Mkhwanazi. He further alleged that city officials received financial rewards for halting internal probes, painting a picture of a municipality deeply affected by corruption and the misuse of resources. His testimony underscored concerns about political interference in administrative processes within the Ekurhuleni metro.
