Pretoria - Police Minister Fikile Mbalula was on top form at a media briefing about Lieutenant-General Berning Ntlemeza, where he said there may be a possibility that a warrant of arrest will have to be issued to recoup Hawks possessions that Ntlemeza might still have and for unlawfully entering the offices.
Ntlemeza has created a stand-off with Mbalulala over his refusal to quit his job despite the minister ordering him to respect the decision of the court. Mbalula was addressing the media after reports emerged on Monday morning that Ntlemeza had sneaked back into the elite police unit's head offices in Pretoria.
Social Media of course couldn't resist jumping in and sharing their take on the matter:
South Africans pls help to locate this crook, he is in possession of state vehicle and cellphone without authorization, wa nya tsotsi... pic.twitter.com/ym9hskrMRY
