Gauteng Provincial Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Elias Mawela has been earmarked to replace National Police Commissioner Khehla Sitole whose departure was announced on Friday

Sitole is yet another police chief who has failed to finish his term. Just like Jackie Selebi and Riah Phiyega before him, Sitole’s contract was terminated “by mutual agreement” after a meeting with President Cyril Ramaphosa.President Cyril Ramaphosa has, by mutual agreement, terminated the employment contract of the National Commissioner of the SA Police Service General Khehla Sitole with effect from March 31 2022.

“The time until General Sitole’s departure will enable a proper handover of various tasks, including all the ongoing investigations, to one of the senior members of the team at the SAPS that had been assisting Sitole,” he said.I am grateful to General Sitole for the constructive discussions we have had over the termination of his position as National Commissioner. I wish to convey my appreciation to General Sitole for his service to the nation over many years in the SAPS.

But Sitole might not be the only casualty. A source said Police Minister Bheki Cele could be moved to another portfolio because of the unrest last July, which found the police were ill-prepared to deal with the riots in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal. The president had already asked Sitole to provide reasons why he should not face an inquiry into his fitness to hold office.

A very good candidate. You must see ehat him and FaithMazibukoSA does for the community very reachable and accessible.I truly thought of him when they said Sithole is gone.The sector has programs that are chipping crime they are making strides honestly SA will be in good hands

No have you seen the crime in Gauteng? So that intelligence op was a show to get him the top post? Ramaphosa is not serious about anything 🥵🥵

I support.....

CoruscaKhaya Ramaphosa, “I’m fighting corruption, give me time”

A good candidate for the position👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

U ready kodwa u Shamase

Send Sitole to Russia

Perfect candidate

The KZN guy would've been ideal but he is so RET and he went to Zuma so many times before JulyUnrest and never s to have had authority over DZumaSambudla

Everything goes Limpopo way. The reason limpompians are die hard Cyril Ramaphosa fans despite their greatest levels of poverty and underdevelopment.

Limpopo factor

Isn't he too old as well?

Great choice 🙏🙌💯💯

Another cadre being deployed

😂 I may not know MAWELA but I'm sure he's yet another compromised individual. They won't appoint anyone who's sound. The state's hell bent on shooting itself in the foot, all because the powers that be are cunts with a yeast infection. Excuse my French, I meant corrupt pricks.

A mess

The name sounds familiar. Wasnt he mentioned at the Zondo commision at some point?

Thabisoo one of your listeners from yesterday may have been onto something 🤔

Not Mawela🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️
