DURBAN - The KZN provincial leadership and SAPS national leadership both approved the contract renewal of Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi as KwaZulu-Natal's top cop.
Mkhwanazi will now serve another five-year term as KZN police commissioner.
KwaZulu-Natal Premier Thami Ntuli confirmed the latest development.
''On the issue of the contract renewal of General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, it has been renewed. The national commissioner has written to me, and I've also given the concurrence formally and officially now. So, I don't think there's an issue regarding that," Ntuli said.
