Allegations against Cele were based on incorrect info: Mkhwanazi

The KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, has insisted that allegations against former Police Minister Bheki Cele were based on incorrect information.
Mkhwanazi had previously accused Cele of receiving money from alleged criminal kingpin Vusimuzi ‘Cat’ Matlala.  
He had cited alleged banking details shared between the two; he says he didn’t mean to mislead the public.  
Mkhwanazi is testifying before Parliament’s Ad Hoc Committee.
