Senzo Mchunu (C) and Gwede Mantashe (L) speak to the media alongside senior members of the South African Police Service (SAPS).
JOHANNESBURG - The Deputy National Commissioner for Crime Detection, Shadrack Sibiya, says he is ready for his day in court.
He has been placed on leave amid allegations of police links to the criminal underworld.
President Cyril Ramaphosa has announced a commission of inquiry into the accusations made by KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.
Sibiya feels that the allegations have endangered him and his family.
Meanwhile, Ramaphosa says allegations against Police Minister Senzo Mchunu must be tested by an independent body.
This, says the President, will be in the interest of fairness and accountability.
He has defended the establishment of the police inquiry into allegations of interference and corruption.
