The City Press reported that he lied to the public when he denied reports that R200,000 of the fund’s money had been spent on security upgrades for his KwaZulu-Natal home.
The Institute of Accountability’s Paul Hoffman said it was clear that the police force’s leadership was in a sorry state.
“Jackie Selebi is sitting jail for 15 years for corruption, his successor is under suspension.”
Hoffman said until Mdluli was cleared of fraud and corruption charges by a court, the integrity of the police would always be questioned.
“It’s not the kind of milieu in which an anti-corruption ethos can be established.”
Mdluli was accused of looting crime intelligence resources for his own personal use.
He was suspended and re-instated in March.
Mthethwa called on the Auditor-General to investigate the claims that he abused state money to renovate his house, in a bid to clear his name.
