KZN cop who won a car thought he was being summoned for disciplinary hearing
Greenwood Park policeman Sgt Nhlanhla Patrick Mhlongo's anxiety after being summoned for what he thought was a disciplinary hearing turned to elation when he was told he was the biggest winner of KwaZulu-Natal's excellence award. Mhlongo was not invited to the awards, held at the Durban ICC on Friday night. Instead, he was summoned to provincial commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi's office to sign a letter of warning for misconduct he knew nothing about. KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson Col Robert Netshiunda said Mhlongo's anxiety changed to tears of joy when the supposed charge of misconduct turned out to be a brand new vehicle. 'Sgt Mhlongo never submitted any application for an excellence award, however, his brilliant performance in investigating and securing notable convictions, with over 184 years' imprisonment sentences for cases of murder, house robberies and other violent crimes in one year, earned him recognition,' he said. Mhlongo was given the nod by all 11 district commissioners, three deputy provincial commissioners and the provincial commissioner himself.
