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.

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.
