The Office of the KwaZulu-Natal Premier has noted media reports and requests for more information regarding the arrest of Dr Zweli Mkhize’s driver in Umthunzini last night.
The Premier’s bodyguards are assigned by the South African Police Service - VIP Protection Unit and we can confirm at this stage that the Premier was not in the vehicle during the arrest.
The Premier has confidence in the organs of states and he believes that they should be allowed to deal with this matter accordingly without fear or favour.
Therefore, the Office of the Premier will not be commenting further on this matter as this may be interpreted in some quarters as interfering with the work of law enforcement agencies.
