- Mkhwanazi suspects the arrest attempt is connected to a probe involving three IDAC officials.
- IDAC has not provided details explaining why both men were summoned to the police station.
I suspect it has to do with that. The only unfortunate part is that actions of this nature will disrupt the team.— Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner, commenting on the IDAC-SAPS standoff after presenting himself to police at Brooklyn Police Station.

- Minister Firoz Cachalia is set to meet President Ramaphosa regarding National Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola.
- Masemola was served a court summons in April concerning his alleged involvement in a R360 million SAPS tender.
- Twelve police officers were arrested this week on fraud and money laundering charges related to the same tender.
- The president will decide on Masemola’s suspension after obtaining legal advice.
The appointment of the national commissioner is a presidential appointment, so the president would then have to advise the minister as to what steps will be taken after the president has sought legal advice, as you intended, that they would be following all the legal prescripts that need to be followed.— Kamogelo Mogotsi, ministerial spokesperson, discussing the appointment process
