appeared in the Durban Specialised Commercial Crimes Court on charges of fraud in relation to misrepresenting his qualifications., former KZN Minister of Health and later Speaker in the legislature. Nkonyeni, who was accused of corruption but her charges were later miraculously dropped, was an AIDs denialist, like her close associate, the late Minister of Health, Manto Tshabalala-Msimang.
He added that forces that were fighting patronage in the SAPS were sabotaged politically by the Minister and through what the court later termed as “revenge investigations” by fellow officers. Judge Zondo remarked that McBride’s evidence suggested that there were many in the SAPS who were happy to be pliant not only to their seniors but to outsiders, like private companies, individuals and crime syndicates.Another side that is worse,” said McBride in reply to Zondo, “is that the good cops who get the work done are not in it for being compliant or corrupt. They have to at some stage ask what is all of this for.
McBride said this culture of persecution against those investigating corruption had been passed down from one commissioner to another over the years.They had a laissez-faire attitude, they looked the other way, all for the brotherhood of the Blue Curtain,” said McBride.
