Bafana Andries Mahlabe was sworn in as chief of police for Ekurhuleni in an inauguration ceremony held at the Germiston Civic Centre, last Thursday.<\/p>\n

This comes a week after the executive mayor of Ekurhuleni, Clr Mondli Gungubele, announced the appointment of Mahlabe in a press briefing<\/a>.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cIt has taken us over a year to fill this position because we were looking for the most relevant person, a person who understands the dynamics of the city and has a clear vision of how to win the battle against crime,\u201d Gungubele told members of the press at the briefing.<\/p>\n

Lieut-Gen Lesetja Mothiba, the Gauteng police commissioner, conducted the inauguration ceremony and asked Mahlabe to repeat the oath as he read it.<\/p>
