Cape Town – President Cyril Ramaphosa has announced Sehlahle Fannie Masemola as South Africa’s new national police commissioner.
Ramaphosa made the announcement on Thursday.
Masemola’s appointment comes after Ramaphosa terminated former commissioner Khehla Sitole’s contract in February.
“General Masemola has been a Deputy Police Commissioner with an outstanding record of achievements in policing across South Africa. This includes helping with the de-escalation of violence in KwaZulu-Natal after our first democratic elections in 1994,” said Ramaphosa.
