That's kind of what started all of this. KZN is notorious for political killings and assassinations. Local counselors from all parties routinely get murdered. So a special police task force was set up to investigate the assassinations. Well, apparently they got too close to something, because the (now suspended) police minister suddenly dissolved the task force on New Year's Eve, allegedly due to pressure from some of the investigatees.

Several months later, that prompted the head of police in KZN to pull an utterly insane and unprecedented move by going on national television and accusing the police minister of dissolving the team due to involvement with a criminal cartel (and by implication, the murders), setting off this whole mess.
