‘He went there to do wrong things,’ Malema says telling Ramaphosa to fire Mchunu:

People, instead of implementing what will change the lives of our people, are buying them with bread.

— Malema said during Ramaphosa's oral question session in the National Assembly.

I don’t know what prompted him.

— Deputy Police Minister Shela Boshielo on Minister Mchunu's decision to target the KwaZulu-Natal unit specifically.

Imagine, comrade Senzo, after 30 years of democracy, having this kind of policing. The good thing now is that these are not allegations but a court judgment.

— Brown Mogotsi, referring to the state of policing in democracy in a message to Senzo Mchunu.

This is the highest infiltration you can think of.

— Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi on the interference of criminals in police work.

It becomes very clear as we proceed that certain people don’t want Mkhwanazi to appear before this committee. You have turned this committee into a toothless body.

— Julius Malema, during the ad hoc committee meeting

There is a warrant against Masemola. It’s out, I don’t know why it’s not being picked up. It means someone somewhere is playing politics and they want to undermine the independence of our justice system.

— Julius Malema, leader of the EFF, commenting on the arrest warrant for national police commissioner Gen Fannie Masemola and the implications of political interference in law enforcement.
