Julius Malema has again clashed with KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi after responding “Absolutely” to an X post criticising Mkhwanazi during the latest illegal immigration and Home Affairs controversy. The backlash comes after Malema previously accused Mkhwanazi of dragging the EFF into disputes involving senior police figures, saying the EFF was “not scared of policemen” and denying any corrupt relationship with General Feroz Khan or Shadrack Sibiya. The renewed Malema vs Mkhwanazi feud has triggered strong reactions online as South Africans debate illegal immigration, Home Affairs, SAPS, the Madlanga Commission and the political fallout ahead of the 2026 local government elections.#nhlanhlamkhwanazi #juliusmalema
