EFF MP Eugene Mthethwa has delivered a stark warning in Parliament, describing General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi’s situation as a “ticking time bomb” with the potential to ignite widespread unrest across South Africa.
Mthethwa cautioned lawmakers that “if anything happens to Mkhwanazi, we will see fire,” emphasizing the fragile state of the nation’s political and social climate.
Calling on the parliamentary committee to act with urgency and care, he insisted that “General Mkhwanazi is us,” highlighting the deep connection between Mkhwanazi’s wellbeing and national stability.
To prevent escalation, Mthethwa pushed for the formation of a joint ad hoc committee tasked with ensuring accountability and calming tensions before the situation spirals out of control.
His warning underscores the high stakes involved and the urgent need for responsible leadership in navigating this volatile moment.
