The African National Congress confirms that Comrade Senzo Mchunu had indicated his willingness to step aside from organisational work following the announcement of the Commission of Inquiry by President Cyril Ramaphosa.
The ANC acknowledges his continued cooperation with the Madlanga Commission and the ANC Integrity Commission, in line with the movement’s values of accountability, discipline, and respect for due process.
The National Executive Committee (NEC) discussed the circumstances surrounding Comrade Mchunu’s matter and, consistent with the provisions of the ANC Constitution and established policy on such matters, agreed that he would continue to perform organisational tasks while on special leave from his Cabinet
responsibilities.
The ANC continues to monitor developments, and the NEC will revisit its discussion should new developments arise that warrant further consideration.
As a movement rooted in renewal and ethical leadership, the ANC reiterates that once a member is criminally charged, they voluntarily step aside from their responsibilities until the conclusion of such matters.
This policy position, unique to the ANC, reflects the organisation’s enduring commitment to integrity, transparency, and accountability.
