Mbalula has made me feel inadequate and damaged my self-esteem, says Ntlemeza

An attorney for suspended Hawks boss Major General Berning Ntlemeza has told the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) in Bloemfontein that the North Gauteng High Court did not have the jurisdiction to grant an order to remove him from office.

The application also reveals a vulnerable side to Ntlemeza‚ who says in the same court papers that he feels “inadequate” after he was effectively fired by newly appointed police minister Fikile Mbalula.
