President Cyril Ramaphosa announced the creation of the commission of inquiry during an address to the nation. His speech came a week after KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi made a series of astounding accusations about fellow police officers and other state officials.
