Under the constitution of KwaZulu, the colonial structures for regulating chieftainship are still in place, and chiefs are appointed to their positions by the KwaZulu government: any chief who is a member of the KLA and attempts to oppose the government line may be dismissed from his position.
The KwaZulu government countered allegations of this type in its submissions to the Goldstone Commission, by stating that there were complaints against the KZP in only 5 percent of the communities in which it was the police force.
The KwaZulu Police are allowed to operate with an almost complete lack of accountability for their actions, and are routinely guilty of incompetence, bias and even criminal activities; behavior which is not justified by the undoubted limitations of resources, manpower and training that affect policing in the homeland.
