The Independent Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) has denied social media claims that it issued a J50 warrant of arrest for KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.

The IDAC has rubbished rumours that it has a J50 warrant of arrest for KZN provincial police commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi as “false”.

This comes after reports circulated on social media alleging that the Independent Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) had prepared a J50 arrest warrant for Mkhwanazi.

However, despite the claims being false, the charge for which Mkhwanazi was allegedly going to be arrested remains unclear.

IDAC said it had noted with concern the rumours and enquiries claiming it had a J50 warrant of arrest for Mkhwanazi.
