Julius Mkhwanazi, deputy chief of Ekurhuleni metro police, loses court bid to block disciplinary hearing. The Johannesburg labour court ruled that the proceedings against him are lawful and can proceed as planned this week. Mkhwanazi, backed by his union, argued that the charges stemmed from his old role under a now-ended contract, but the court disagreed. The allegations cover misconduct from 2021 through November 2023, when he served as director of operations and specialized services. An internal audit led to his suspension. The municipality argued that his shift to deputy chief didnt erase their authority, since he stayed an employee. Judge Suzanna Harvey agreed, noting that employers can discipline staff as long as the job relationship exists. Mkhwanazi faces one set of charges on Tuesday and another on Friday, keeping the focus on accountability in city policing.
