President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to address South Africa this evening regarding the recent allegations levelled against political and South African Police Service leadership by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.  In a media briefing last Sunday Mkhwanazi made the allegations against police minister Senzo Mchunu, his close associate Brown Mogotsi and Deputy National Commissioner for Crime Detection, Lieutenant General Shadrack Sibiya. He accused the officials of ties to crime syndicates , alleged interference in police operations, including the disbanding of a task team investigating political killings. In response , the presidency released a statement on Friday saying President  Cyril Ramaphosa has been seized with this matter and following various consultations, he will  take the nation into his confidence.  Security experts say these accusations should be thoroughly investigated as they could erode public confidence in South Africa's police. 

To discuss how the president should act in this matter and whether he can restore trust in law enforcement Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Security analyst and former SA Interpol Crime Ambassador, Andy Mashaile and Dr. Levy Ndou, a political analyst
