In a clip from the KZN Tonight podcast shared on Saturday, Ntuli said National Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola had formally written to him seeking concurrence, which he has since granted.

Ntuli said the renewal followed discussions with national police commissioner Fannie Masemola, who formally approved the extension, with the premier giving official concurrence as required by law.

“On the issue of the contract renewal of Lt General Mkhwanazi, it has been renewed, the national commissioner has written to me, and I’ve also given concurrence officially now, so I don’t think there is an issue regarding that,” he said.
