KwaZulu-Nata MEC for Transport, Community Safety and Liaison, Mr Willies Mchunu, has noted with concerns allegations that KwaZulu-Natal police spokesman, Colonel Vincent Mdunge, had a faked matric certificate.
MEC Mchunu welcomes the decision by Provincial Commissioner Lt-General Mmamonye Ngobeni, to order a high level investigation into these allegations although Colonel Mdunge has since resigned.
“We welcome the move by the Lt General Ngobeni to order an investigation into this matter. While this matter, at this stage, remains an allegation, we wish to state it for a record that the issue of integrity on people serving the public is of utmost importance to the government.”
“It will be highly regrettable if the impression was to be created that the members of the public were being served by people with faked qualifications.” “We place high value on the need for the people serving the public to be of high integrity, good standing and trustworthy,” said Mchunu.
MEC Mchunu said he would await the outcome of the probe into this matter with keen interest.
