Arriving at his press conference in July last year, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi made a striking entrance. Dressed in fatigues and flanked by gun-toting officers, he looked less like a South African policeman than a west African general about to announce a coup.(他身穿迷彩服，身旁簇拥着持枪警员，看上去不像南非警察，倒更像一位即将宣布政变的西非将军。)
去年7月，恩兰拉·姆赫瓦纳齐现身记者会时，登场方式令人侧目。他身穿迷彩服，身旁簇拥着持枪警员，看上去不像南非警察，倒更像一位即将宣布政变的西非将军。
And in a way he did. That day in Durban Mr Mkhwanazi, the police commissioner for the province of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN)(南非夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省，姆赫瓦纳齐任警务专员的省份), set South Africa alight(点燃整个南非，引起轰动). He alleged that politicians and police leaders were in cahoots with(与……勾结，串通) organised crime. Kingpins, he said, had leaned on the police minister and the national commissioner (his boss) to shut a unit investigating politically motivated killings. He claimed that police were colluding with a drug-trafficking cartel(卡特尔，垄断集团). The effects were explosive. Cyril Ramaphosa(南非总统，因姆赫瓦纳齐爆料而停职涉事部长), South Africa’s president, suspended the minister; other high-ups have since fallen. An inquiry has found staggering(令人震惊的) links between gangsters, police and public officials.
某种意义上，他确实宣布了一场“政变”。那天在德班，身为夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省（KZN）警务专员的姆赫瓦纳齐点燃了整个南非。他指控政客和警界高层与有组织犯罪勾结。他说，犯罪头目曾向警察部长和国家警察总监（他的上司）施压，要求关闭一个调查政治动机杀人案的部门。他还声称，警方与一个贩毒集团串通一气。其影响是爆炸性的。南非总统西里尔·拉马福萨将那位部长停职，此后还有其他高官落马。一项调查发现，黑帮、警察与公职人员之间存在令人震惊的联系。
Why did Mr Mkhwanazi go public(公开爆料，公之于众)? His supporters say he is an ethical public servant: a cop’s cop who felt the need to save what was left of the South African Police Service (SAPS).(他的支持者说，他是一位有操守的公职人员，是警察中的警察，觉得自己有必要拯救南非警察局仅存的声誉。) Officers who have worked with him call him a straight-shooter(直言不讳的人) and an inspiring leader. But even those who praise Mr Mkhwanazi question his motives. They suggest that his press conference was part of a turf war(地盘争夺战). Some claim he oversaw extra-judicial(法外的) killings of suspected criminals, an allegation he denies.
姆赫瓦纳齐为何要公开爆料？支持者说，他是一位有操守的公职人员，是警察中的警察，觉得自己有必要拯救南非警察局（SAPS）仅存的声誉。与他共事过的警员称他直言不讳、富有感召力。但即便是赞赏他的人也质疑他的动机。他们认为，那场记者会是一场地盘争夺战的一部分。还有人指控他主导了对犯罪嫌疑人实施的法外处决，他对此予以否认。
