Show Notes
KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi clarified his decision to drop corruption charges against former police minister Bheki Cele. The initial accusation stemmed from a misinterpretation of cellphone data, which suggested Cele received illegal payments from businessman Vusimuzi Matlala. However, it was later discovered that the contact in question was a case of mistaken identity, as Matlala accidentally sent money to the wrong person due to a similar phone number. The true recipient was a man in Mpumalanga, who provided a statement to clear up the confusion.
