DURBAN - A KwaZulu-Natal police spokesman has resigned amid allegations that he has an invalid matric certificate, the SA Police Service said on Thursday.

Colonel Jay Naicker said the allegations against Colonel Vincent Mdunge surfaced when the criminal and academic records of SAPS employees were checked.

"During the verification of qualifications process allegations surfaced that the matric certificate of Colonel Vincent Mdunge, who is based in the provincial headquarters, was not valid. Following a thorough investigation the provincial commissioner [Lt-Gen Mmamonnye Ngobeni] took a decision to institute disciplinary charges against the member. The member has since placed notice with the commissioner to resign from the SAPS and his resignation was accepted," said Naicker.
