KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lt-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi has stepped in to calm fears around the political killings probe. He confirmed that the case dockets, which had earlier been reported as taken away, will now be returned to the special task team handling the investigations.
For many families waiting for answers, this update brings a sense of relief. Concerns had been growing that the removal of the files could derail justice for victims of politically motivated violence.
Mkhwanazi reassured the public that the investigations will continue without disruption, stressing that the cases remain intact and that detectives are fully committed to getting to the truth.
This latest move is seen as a step toward restoring confidence in the process, especially among communities directly affected by the wave of political killings in the province.
