text: Acting head of crime intelligence Major-General Pat Mokushane has been axed from his position. This comes after reports that he has a criminal record and that he is being investigated for running his business from work. News24 reports that Mokushane’s termination was signed by acting national commissioner Lesetja Mothiba on August 17. “This letter serves to inform you that the acting appointment of Major-General PM Mokushane as the Divisional Commissioner: Crime Intelligence has been terminated with immediate effect,” the letter reads. Earlier this month, City Press reported that Mokushane has a criminal record and that he had an affair with another officer’s wife. The report stated he was arrested in 1993 for possession of suspected stolen property. He has denied the allegations. News24 further reported the police portfolio committee was told Mokushane had suspended a police officer who revealed that Mothiba was misled about Mokushane’s clearance.
