Mchunu maintains innocence, as he hands over electronic devices to Saps
This article has been supplied.
Suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu says he remains confident that due process will confirm that his actions have been “ethical, lawful, and consistent” with his duties as a member of the Executive.
On Thursday, Mchunu voluntarily handed over his electronic devices to South African Police Service (Saps) investigators as part of the ongoing investigation.
In July, President Cyril Ramaphosa placed Mchunu on a leave of absence with immediate effect.
This after KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi made allegations of corruption, political interference, and malfeasance, specifically accusing Mchunu of unilaterally disbanding the Political Killings Task Team and redirecting 121 active investigation dockets to the office of National Deputy Commissioner Lieutenant General Shadrack Sibiya, where they have allegedly been neutralised.
Mchunu reiterated his full cooperation with all processes and reaffirmed his commitment to “transparency, accountability, and respect” for the rule of law.
He maintained that he had “nothing to hide” and that he welcomed any lawful investigation.
Mchunu said his focus was on serving South Africans and safeguarding the integrity of the country’s democratic institutions.
Last month, during his appearance at the Commission investigating allegations made by Mkhwanazi, Mchunu defended his decision to disband the Political Killings Task Team in KwaZulu-Natal, informing the committee that he had the approval of Ramaphosa to proceed with the decision.
Mchunu stated that he had briefed Ramaphosa on his intention to dissolve the task team and that the President had supported his reasoning.
