The police minister Nathi Mthethwa announced yesterday that the police spy boss Lieutenant-General Richard Mdluli has been temporarily reduced in rank. It has been reported that it was political pressure from some senior ANC officials, and concerns by cabinet ministers that led to the demotion. Nathi Mthethwa told parliament that the decision was taken jointly by him and acting national police commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi but according to the times live this is not true as threats by some people within the police crime intelligence to resign lead to the verdict. The controversial Mduli responded by saying “I am happy; I’m a policeman; I can work anywhere.” Pic:MG
