Around 17,000 police officers to be deployed in KZN

JOHANNESBURG - A total of 17,000 police officers will be deployed in KwaZulu-Natal during this year's elections. 

That's according to the provincial police commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. 

He was speaking during the signing of the IEC's code of conduct by political parties. 

KwaZulu-Natal is notorious for political killings.

"If you violate the law, if you break the law, ours is to enforce," he said.
